Israeli journalist Guy Peleg has come under intense threat and harassment after airing leaked footage in 2024 that allegedly shows the sexual abuse of a Palestinian prisoner by Israeli soldiers at the Sde Teiman detention center. The broadcast sparked backlash from right-wing activists, politicians, and media figures, with some officials calling for Peleg's arrest. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed the footage as fabricated, while the controversy led to the resignation of the military advocate general. Media watchdogs and press freedom advocates have condemned the intimidation campaign against Peleg, warning that it fosters a climate of fear for journalists reporting on Israel's security establishment. The situation has raised broader concerns about press freedom and military accountability in Israel.
