CAMERA prompts a correction at Ynet after the Israeli media outlet wrongly reported: "During his first term, Trump had no contact at all with the Saudis."
Along with the "tsunami" of emigration is a flood of Israeli media misreporting including factual errors, misunderstanding of demographic concepts and the failure to provide critical context. UPDATE: Ynet deletes erroneous references to a "negative migration balance" and adds key context on the departure of recent immigrants who had fled the Russia-Ukraine war.
The Jerusalem Post is to be commended for entirely withdrawing an article which had wrongly reported that Passover hikers passed over the border into Syria. And while Haaretz slightly readjusted its navigational heading, Ynet remains stuck in the mud.

CAMERA prompts corrections in English, Arabic and Spanish after Reuters mischaracterized Palestinian security officers and police as "soldiers."
After Reuters misrepresented the Jewish city of Tel Aviv as an Arab city prior to 1948, editors improved the more problematic Arabic article but declined to clarify in English. Meanwhile, Ynet commendably corrected while The Jerusalem Post failed to do so.
