The recent election results indicate that the Israeli public is not swayed by the narratives presented by left-leaning media outlets, despite numerous dramatic controversies and headlines targeting Benjamin Netanyahu. Over the course of the election campaign, media channels reportedly generated a continuous stream of significant controversies, including the "Egyptian Plane Affair," "Qatargate," and the "Crypto Affair," among many others. While news studios buzzed with warnings from commentators, Netanyahu's Likud party saw an increase in poll numbers.
The article posits that the public has ceased to accept the media's framing of events, suggesting the election served not only as a test of party strength but also as a vote of no confidence in the Israeli media.
