Noy Bar, ex-fiancée of Avner Netanyahu, criticized the growing celebration of Halloween in Israel as "blind imitation." Bar, now a panelist on Channel 14, warned that adopting foreign customs could lead to a loss of national identity. This comes as Avner Netanyahu, son of the Prime Minister, was photographed on vacation in London with his new girlfriend, Dana Tsubag. The couple's photos were released months after Netanyahu canceled his wedding to his previous girlfriend, Amit Yardeni.

  • Noy Bar, Avner Netanyahu's ex-fiancée, strongly criticized Halloween celebrations in Israel.
  • Bar called the adoption of the holiday "blind imitation" and warned of national identity loss.
  • Avner Netanyahu, son of the Prime Minister, was photographed with his new girlfriend, Dana Tsubag.
  • The couple's photos were taken during a vacation in London.

Noy Bar, the ex-fiancée of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's son, Avner Netanyahu, has sparked controversy with sharp criticism of Halloween celebrations in Israel. Bar, who is now a panelist on Channel 14 and was previously engaged to Avner Netanyahu, posted a photo of a supermarket cart filled with Halloween items, including a pumpkin decoration. She described the widespread adoption of the Western holiday as "blind imitation" that is "strange, artificial, embarrassing, humiliating, and even disgusting."

Bar elaborated on her critique, comparing the adoption of foreign customs to "collecting crumbs from foreign tables of liquids, which are lapped up as if they fell from the king's table." She warned that a nation losing its distinct identity and cohesion risks losing its existence, concluding with a sarcastic remark about "multiculturalism, yeah right."

Meanwhile, Avner Netanyahu, 31, is back in the media spotlight following the publication of his first couple photo with his new girlfriend, Dana Tsubag, 29. Tsubag is a former model and a graduate of Reichman University. She previously had a high-profile relationship with Israeli national football team player Dor Peretz, with whom she lived in Italy.

The photos from London emerged months after Netanyahu canceled his planned wedding to his previous girlfriend, Amit Yardeni.
