Yinon Magal, a presenter on Channel 14 and a media personality, launched a sharp attack against Channel 12's news division following its broadcast of recordings featuring Rabbi Dov Lando, a prominent figure in the Haredi-Lithuanian community. In a post on his X account, Magal alleged that Channel 12 reused old material as part of a planned political maneuver by the opposition and media outlets. He criticized the reporting, stating, "As part of a campaign of hatred against the Haredim and an attempt by the opposition and left-wing media to steer the 'discourse' towards the elections solely to 'Haredim, Haredim, Haredim,' Channel 12 recycled recordings of Rabbi Lando that were already published six months ago. There is no journalism and no shame."
The controversy erupted after Channel 12 aired recordings of Rabbi Dov Lando in which he spoke harshly about Religious Zionist fighters, suggesting that "those who are killed are killed because their rabbis teach them distorted Torah." This broadcast sparked widespread anger among public figures, including Naftali Bennett, Rani Rahav, and Ben Caspit, who also attacked the report.
