Israeli reporter hounded by Prime Minister Netanyahu

NewsReporters Without Borders (RSF) deplores the repeated verbal attacks on Israel’s Channel 12 crime reporter Guy Peleg in recent months by Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu and his Likud party. These irresponsible and dangerous attacks have unleashed a torrent of violent reactions against this journalist, RSF said. At least three messages attacking Channel 12 were posted on Netanyahu’s Facebook page on 30 and 31 August alone, one of them directly targeting Peleg.
