Channel 12 journalist Amit Segal described his recent exchanges with Yonatan Uriach, a close advisor to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as a "very delicate tango." Segal explained that journalists often exchange information and opinions with sources, sometimes receiving drafts of speeches and campaigns and offering their own views. He noted that unlike many of Prime Minister Netanyahu's usual mouthpieces, Segal himself is a more versatile player. While his original motivation was ideological, Segal's current driving force is primarily entrepreneurial, with both Keshet and Channel 12 unable to afford losing him.
