Journalist Moriah Asraf, political correspondent for News 13, said that the new prime minister's spokesman, Omar Dostri, removed her from all of Netanyahu's office's spokesperson groups - and explained on her personal Twitter account why this extreme step was taken against her.

""The Prime Minister's new spokesman, Omar Dostri, has a strange practice - issuing responses from the Prime Minister's Office under the name 'a person involved in the details' and forbidding reporters from saying that the response came from Netanyahu's office. This can be on a variety of issues - from decisions on humanitarian ceasefires to briefings against the American administration," Asraf revealed.

She added: "Yesterday, such a response was issued again regarding the Temple Mount, and because I mentioned that it was a response that came from the Prime Minister's Office (as they do with any response that comes from any office) - Dostri removed me from all the reporters' mailing lists.".

""It turns out that accepting responsibility is out of the question even in a fairly negligible response to the media.".
