Journalist and broadcaster Chaim Levinson has accused Channel 14 of operating an "industry of lies," responding to a clip from a podcast featuring Channel 14 political correspondent Moty Castel. In the clip, Castel speculated that former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit would avoid testifying in the Netanyahu trial, suggesting he would invent a reason to be absent, possibly a trip abroad. Levinson sharply criticized Castel, implying he had fallen for a "spin" and should be ashamed. Levinson also referenced a previous incident where Castel questioned Benny Gantz during a press conference about his resignation from the emergency government, asking if it was at the behest of or in coordination with American officials. Levinson retorted on Twitter at the time, questioning if Castel's question to Gantz was directed by or coordinated with Yair Netanyahu, the prime minister's son. Levinson hosts a daily podcast where he analyzes Israeli politics and media.
