Is Times of Israel not an Israeli source?

Maybe similar to our MSM?

[Blennos]

The Times of Israel was simply quoting the New York Times, the source of this story.

[Salman]

The Times of Israel *tweets* The New York Times said so.

That is media reporting media. I want to hear it from Israeli media (even The Times of Israel) reporting it from an Israeli *source* (in the Israeli government, not another newspaper).

Otherwise it's just the NY Times trying to make Joe look good, and The Times of Israel reporting just that.
