Rotem Sela Condemns False Claims Against Journalist Guy Peleg’s Daughter as Hate Campaign

Rotem Sela, an Israeli actress and TV host, publicly condemned a wave of false accusations targeting Roni Peleg, the 17-year-old daughter of Channel 12 legal correspondent Guy Peleg. The misinformation, which circulated widely on Telegram groups, falsely claimed that Roni had passed information to Iranians. Sela, a close friend of the family, addressed the issue on her Instagram account on Wednesday, denouncing the spread of hateful lies against the children of journalists.

In her post, Sela questioned the lack of boundaries in spreading such defamatory content, emphasizing that children should be off-limits in political or media disputes. She called the digital misinformation a form of weaponry with serious and harmful consequences. Sela urged the public not to share or amplify these false and horrific claims, highlighting the innocence of the children involved and the need to protect them from such attacks.

This incident reflects ongoing tensions around media figures in Israel and the risks their families face amid politically charged misinformation campaigns. Sela’s intervention aims to raise awareness about the ethical limits of public discourse and the protection of minors from targeted harassment.
