Ruvik Drucker, a presenter for Channel 13's "Select Zone," has launched a sharp attack against Israel's President Yitzhak Herzog, accusing him of "populism and hypocrisy" and calling him a "self-aggrandizing president." Drucker's criticism stems from remarks made by Herzog at the President's Residence, which the journalist deemed "ugly and damaging."
Drucker suggested that Herzog's actions indicate a desire to return to politics, comparing him to Benny Gantz. He specifically called out Herzog's comments on the issue of "prohibited planting," labeling it "fake news" for which the president should apologize.
