The Times of Israel issues a statement regarding the threats to our military correspondent, Polymarket’s response, and the Israel Police investigation.

ToI “is horrified that our military correspondent Emanuel Fabian has received death threats as a result of his work,” the statement reads.

“The Times of Israel was pleased to see Polymarket condemning those threats, and saying it has ‘banned the accounts’ of all those involved. We were pleased to see Polymarket saying it would be providing the details of those responsible to the relevant authorities.”

“We see considerable grounds for concern about a market for betting on real events where lives are at risk,” the statement adds.

“We await progress in the Israel Police investigation of the matter,” it concludes.
