"The media are not news channels; they are fake channels," said the Israeli prime minister during a Knesset debate
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused media outlets of “constantly lying to the public in the service of and in full cooperation with the deep state,” during a Knesset debate on Monday.
“The media are not news channels; they are fake channels,” the prime minister charged during a so-called 40-signature debate, which the opposition can call once a month and which he is obliged to attend.
Netanyahu noted allegations that have resurfaced in recent days that former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak met with the accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein at least 36 times between 2013 and 2017.
