Israeli Journalist With Ties to Netanyahu Unconcerned by Trump's Jail Threats Following Leaked Reporting
Apr 6 2026
Israeli journalist Amit Segal has dismissed President Donald Trump's threats to jail whoever leaked details of a second US airman downed over Iran. Segal confirmed on his Telegram channel that he was the first reporter to publish the story about the Air Force officer whose F-15 fighter jet was shot down.

Segal has been dubbed an insider or mouthpiece for Netanyahu.In 2022, the Israeli Prime Minister offered the reporter the 4th Likud spot and any ministry of his choice. However, he decided to reject the offer so that he could remain in journalism. 'I told him, 'thank you for the offer, but I'm not interested,'' Segal said.
As of writing, Netanyahu and Trump appear to still be on the same page amid the ongoing US-Israel-Iran war. Thus, it is possible for the president not to move forward with his threat after learning that it was Segal who first reported about the second downed airman.
