Journalist Raviv Drucker, host of the program "Hamakor" on Reshet 13, is at the center of a police complaint filed against him. The complaint was submitted by social media figure and activist Evyatar Zarubinsky, following allegations that Drucker was filmed during a broadcast driving his vehicle while holding a mobile phone. Zarubinsky stated, "It is hard to ignore the disregard for the law and the bad example set for the public" when an individual documents themselves committing an offense and distributes the video. He added that using a phone while driving is a life-threatening offense and that he expects the police to enforce the law equally toward every citizen.

Simultaneously, the CEO of the B'Tsalmo organization, Shai Glick, sent a letter to the Second Authority for Television and Radio. Glick claimed that Drucker was documented committing two serious traffic violations: using a mobile phone without a hands-free device and driving without a seatbelt. Glick emphasized that these segments were broadcast and could convey a message to viewers that journalists are above the law. He demanded that the Authority open an inquiry, impose sanctions on the network and the host, and compel News 13 to issue an apology.

The report surfaces against the backdrop of another legal drama, in which the Prime Minister's wife, Sara Netanyahu, threatened to sue Drucker and News 13 for misleading publications, claiming the reports regarding her contained "absolute lies." The facts presented in this report are based on a publication by the ICE website. LawFirms.pro bears no responsibility for the accuracy of this information or its consequences.
