The Times Of Israel is the Israeli leftist counterpart to the leftist U.S. major media venues.
Regardless the content of that story has been on the lips of Israeli politicians from Naftali Bennett and Itamar Ben Gvir not to mention Avigdor Lieberman on the Right to Yair Lapid on the Left over the years.
It is truth regardless of the outlet that published it.
Even the Devil speaks truth on occasion.
