Yesterday, Israel heard the dramatic announcement that Boaz Bismuth would be leaving his position as the paper’s senior editor. The widow of American Jewish billionaire Sheldon Adelson, who died exactly a year ago, inherited his vast empire, which included Israel’s most circulated newspaper. Miriam Adelson had nothing but kind words for Bismuth, who “secured a record number of interviews with former US President Donald Trump and gave readers reliable, high-quality reporting.”
Her mention of Trump offered appropriate framing for Bismuth’s departure as an important political move for the Israeli right.
