Netanyahu Blasts PUSH News Page Over Alleged Partisan Bias and Transparency

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sharply criticized the PUSH news page on his official Instagram account on Sunday, accusing the platform of disguising partisan political bias as objective journalism. Netanyahu claimed that the page consistently favors one political side while attacking the other.

"Recently, questions have been raised regarding the PUSH page: who is behind the content published, what ties exist between it and political figures, and whether some of the content promoting candidates or attacking right-wing figures is done as part of paid engagements," Netanyahu wrote.

He emphasized that transparency is vital regardless of political affiliation. "If a candidate pays for content, the public must know it is sponsored. When you see a news item, an overly flattering headline for a certain candidate, or repeated attacks against another political side, ask who wrote it, who distributed it, who paid, and who profits. Do not let news packaging replace critical thinking," the prime minister added.
