Journalist Criticizes Anti-Netanyahu Camp for Boosting His Campaign Through Excessive Coverage

On Monday, journalist Nadav Eyal criticized the anti-Netanyahu bloc for their reaction to events involving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. Eyal argued that the opposition's continuous focus on these incidents inadvertently serves Netanyahu's campaign by providing it with free publicity. He cited the example of Netanyahu attending a concert, which sparked a week-long public and media discussion, keeping him at the center of attention.

Eyal claimed that the opposition's obsession with such events helps promote the messages and activities of Netanyahu's side, stating, "There is an uncontrollable desire in the anti-Netanyahu bloc to serve the opposing campaign." He emphasized that this ongoing attention benefits Netanyahu's camp, as "the more free publicity it receives, the happier Bibi's bloc is."

Furthermore, Eyal directed criticism at the media, urging journalists to prioritize substantive issues over sensational events. He called on the press to focus on the core topics of the campaign rather than amplifying incidents that ultimately aid Netanyahu's political standing.
