Project 315

The 315 Project – Citizens for Truth (פרויקט 315) is a volunteer-based in Israel whose main purpose that aims to investigate the nature and content of 315 news publications mentioned in the indictment of the Case 4000 trial,[1] in which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who is accused of 'unusual responsiveness'[clarification needed] during the runup to their publication at the Israeli news portal Walla.

Levy, and the other leaders of the project, were Netanyahu supporters The original indictment in the case (given the number 4000) was presented to the district court of Jerusalem on January 28, 2020, and included the charges of "bribery, fraud and breach of trust.

[6] Guy Levy joined forces with Moshik Kovarsky, Adi Szabo, Moshe Mallal, and dozens of volunteers to thoroughly scrutinize all 315 cases included in the indictment addendum.

In one case, it was even revealed that a presumed demand to retract a publication was not related to Benjamin Netanyahu, but to the Israeli former politician Silvan Shalom.

Other publication requests that were accepted appeared in dozens of other news outlets simultaneously and were mainly regular spokesman announcements.

Additionally, other subjects are discussed in the clips such as the phenomenon of demands for positive coverage at Walla by other politicians, and other issues related to the press-dubbed 'thousands of cases'.

[7] Ben Meir even claimed that cases in which a demand was raised for coverage of events that were also covered by other media outlets, can also be considered as an unusual responsiveness.

According to this claim, the people of the project based their words on a wrong, or unnecessary, interpretation of the meaning of the term "removal of an article" on a news website.
