The editor-in-chief of “Israel Today”, Boaz Bismuth, announced this morning (Monday) that he is resigning from his senior position after five years in office. “These have been challenging, fascinating and eventful years,” he said. The person who will fill his place until he finds a replacement is Omar Lachmanovich, editor of the “Israel Hashavua” supplement.
News 12’s senior commentator, Amit Segal, addressed the issue in the fifth edition with Rafi Reshef and claimed that Bismuth’s departure was not related to the question of Bennett or Netanyahu. “Miriam Adelson supports Bennett’s government. She did not intervene in the paper but it may be that when she appoints a new editor, then the paper will be more in Bennett’s direction.”

As for the question of inheritance, who will head the big newspaper, David Wertheim of Walla said that in the environment of the publisher, Miriam Adelson, the possibility of appointing Alon Goldstein, who is one of the “media people closest to Bennett in the last ten years” is being considered.
