Israeli Journalist Claims Likud is Hiding Ministers, Cites Levin Heckled — Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

Prominent Israeli journalist Ravev Drucker, a presenter for Channel 13, has accused the Likud party of intentionally concealing its senior ministers from the public as part of its campaign strategy. Drucker characterized the Likud campaign as "The Vanishing" series, noting the apparent absence of ministers like Dudi Amsalem and Miri Regev, and the disappearance of Yariv Levin, the Justice Minister. Drucker suggested that Levin, who spearheaded the judicial overhaul, is being hidden because of public backlash.

Drucker presented footage of Levin at a Bloomfield stadium event, where he was reportedly heckled by angry fans. The fans were heard shouting, "How dare you come here?! 1,200 dead in one day! So many Hapoel fans died because of you! You piece of shit! You're finished! We're done with you!". Drucker sarcastically commented on the fans' reaction and pointed out that the President of the Haifa District Court, whom Levin had appointed, was seated next to the Justice Minister. Drucker questioned Likud supporters, asking if this was the judicial system they desired, with a court president attending games with the Justice Minister.

In a separate commentary, Drucker praised Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the "Yashar" party and former IDF Chief of Staff, for his recent security statement. Eisenkot pledged to end Hamas rule in Gaza and destroy its military wing within 18 months, whether through a Trump-like plan or military action. Drucker called Eisenkot's move "very smart," stating it set the agenda, reminded people of what Netanyahu had neglected in security, and targeted Netanyahu's weakest point, given that Hamas remains in power after three years and numerous promises.
