In depth

Journalist Benny Tzipper, who was fired from Haaretz after nearly 50 years, reveals in an interview the ideological shift he underwent. According to him, he realized there was something else in his path, and he talks about his regret over his articles against the IDF and the settlement enterprise.

Tzipper talks about the meeting with Sara Netanyahu, which affected his life. After he grew close to her, friends turned their backs on him, and according to him, for years he feared saying his true opinion.

Support for Sara Netanyahu and identification with the right made him, according to him, an unwelcome figure in the media camp where he worked for decades. He describes the price he paid for his positions.
