PR Guru Ran Rahav Slams Netanyahu Over 'Arab Threat' Rhetoric
Public relations expert Ran Rahav launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of inciting division and employing racist rhetoric against Arab citizens of Israel. The confrontation erupted after Netanyahu claimed that Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, was planning to form a government with Yair Golan, Avigdor Lieberman, and Arab parties.
Rahav defended the Arab public in Israel, stating that Arab citizens have behaved admirably for three years during the war and that their elected officials have the right to vote according to their conscience. He criticized Netanyahu's rhetoric as demonizing Arabs and highlighted the significant contributions of the Arab community to Israel's healthcare system, asking the Prime Minister who treats him in hospitals and pharmacies, and who the outstanding caregivers are.
"Enough, Benjamin, enough. I'm fed up, finished! There's no more strength for the war you create anew every day!" Rahav declared in a series of uninhibited tweets. He asserted that Arab doctors and all Arab citizens of Israel should be allowed to support whomever they wish without facing racism from the Prime Minister.
This is not the first time Rahav has publicly criticized Netanyahu. Previously, Rahav blamed the Prime Minister for a controversial film, stating that Netanyahu's silence on Jewish terrorism and his allowing ministers and Knesset members like Bezalel Smotrich, Itamar Ben-Gvir, and Simcha Rothman to attack innocent people led to the creation of the film, which Rahav described as a "shameful film causing enormous damage to Israel in the world."
