MK Michael Ben-Ari (Ichud Leumi) responded Wednesday to reports that journalist Uri Blau will stand trial in the Anat Kam affair by calling to put Haaretz on trial as well.

“The time has come for the Haaretz newspaper, the greenhouse for traitors like Blau, to be put on trial for betraying the state and giving protection to traitors,” he declared. Haaretz printed an article that Blau wrote based on secret documents that he possessed illegally.
