Sara Netanyahu (above) receives apology from NYT Jerusalem bureau chief Jodi Ruderon
On Oct. 23, The New York Times published the following correction:
Barak Ravid reports in Ha’aretz today:
Sources close to the prime minister leaked to Israel Hayom that the New York Times bureau chief in Jerusalem, Jodi Rudoren, who had written the article, had sent a letter of apology to Sara Netanyahu. Netanyahu’s people also leaked excerpts from the letter implying that she was “deeply apologetic,” citing “an embarrassing editorial flaw,” describing the piece as “outrageous.” . . .
Rudoren declined to disclose the contents of the letter, saying, “I consider its contents to be personal, so I will not address them. The paper’s published correction speaks for itself — there was an editing error that led to the criticism being described improperly…”
