Israeli journalist Ruviv Drucker strongly criticized fellow journalist Amit Segal on air, following the publication of alleged text messages between Segal and Yonatan Ourich, an aide. Drucker likened Segal's relationship with Ourich to that of "court journalists" serving dictators.

Drucker concluded his remarks with a pointed warning directed at Prime Minister Netanyahu, the upcoming elections, and the potential for legal action against those who published the messages. He argued that the public interest in the matter outweighs any potential privacy concerns for Segal, who is reportedly facing criminal charges and serious investigations.

"Unless, of course, Netanyahu wins in two weeks," Drucker stated. "From now on, Segal is working hard. Not for scoops, but to put his critics in jail."
