New Media in Israel

This issue covers the period 20-23 August 2017. Israeli online networks were preoccupied with few topics. The Israeli virtual world was relatively quiet.

This week, the most viral issue concerned the arrest of politician Eldad Yaniv (Zionist Camp) and activist Menny Naftali (who had worked at the Prime Minister’s house). Yaniv and Naftali used to organise weekly demonstrations in front of the Government Judicial Advisor’s house in Betah Tikva. They sought to urge the Judicial Advisor to take

Action and launch a serious investigation into corruption cases imputed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
