Yisrael Medad serves as a member of the Executive Board of Israel's Media Watch (Lapelet). In this role, he helps direct an organization that has filed complaints against Israeli journalists and media outlets for coverage deemed critical of the settlement movement or sympathetic to Palestinian narratives. The organization's board includes other prominent figures from the settler movement, and Medad's role gives him influence over the group's media campaigns, which have been documented to pressure outlets and individual journalists. This relationship is documented in the organization's public board listings and media reports about its activities.
