Businessman Roni Mana, formerly close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu but now a vocal critic, has launched a new attack on Channel 12 political commentator Amit Segal. In a post on his X account, Mana accused Segal of complete political bias in favor of Netanyahu, calling him a "full-time mouthpiece" for the Prime Minister. Mana sarcastically remarked that Segal was so effective as a mouthpiece that he could have been used during Yom Kippur when a shofar is traditionally blown.
Mana further stated that Segal no longer even pretends to be an independent journalist, working "full-time for Netanyahu" and questioning why he isn't employed by Channel 14, a more right-leaning outlet. Mana urged viewers to change channels whenever Segal appears on screen and to boycott the program "Meet the Press."
To highlight his claims of Segal's lack of independence, Mana contrasted him with Channel 12 anchor Ben Caspit, who is known for his criticism of Netanyahu. Mana noted that Caspit is open about his views and "doesn't take orders from anyone."
This is not the first time Mana has criticized Segal's reporting. In September, after a clip surfaced of Sami Abu Shehadeh discussing past cooperation with Netanyahu, Mana accused Segal of being "fully enlisted to help Netanyahu" and of withholding information from viewers about Netanyahu's past legislative work with figures like Abu Shehadeh.
