I personally don’t put much stock in that category. The “Credibility” is based on several factors including the age and popularity of the publication, the bias, and the factuality. By MBFC system, it has a credibility score of, by my estimate, 6 points which is the minimum threshold for the high credibility rating. Their scoring and our interpretation aside, I would still love to see sources and reasons on why you think the Jerusalem Post should be rated lower
