  • PR executive Rani Rahav called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a liar and "guilty" for his handling of the October 7th attack.
  • Former Military Secretary Avi Gil stated Netanyahu "knew everything" and that his office engaged in "criminal" behavior.
  • Avi Gil claimed that more hostages could have been rescued earlier and alive.
  • Rani Rahav urged the public to believe Avi Gil and called for Netanyahu's resignation.
  • Rahav previously supported former PM Naftali Bennett's criticism of remarks by Rabbi Dov Lando.

PR executive Rani Rahav has launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, echoing recent critical remarks made by former Military Secretary, Major General (Res.) Avi Gil. In a television interview, Gil stated that "too many lies are in the air" and that the public is not being told the truth about the events leading up to and following the October 7th massacre. Gil asserted that Netanyahu "knew everything, he read all the intelligence and heard all the assessments." He also accused Netanyahu's office of "disproportionate material gathering, a criminal pattern of behavior by people who think everything is permitted." Furthermore, Gil claimed that more hostages could have been brought home alive and earlier.

Responding to Gil's statements, Rahav publicly supported the former Military Secretary, calling him "straight as a ruler" and "the salt of the earth." Rahav directly accused Netanyahu of being "guilty, guilty, guilty" and insisted that "it is forbidden to give a hand to Benjamin Netanyahu." He implored the public to believe Gil, stating, "If we don't believe this honest man, who will we believe?" Rahav concluded his remarks by demanding Netanyahu's resignation, saying, "It cannot be that everyone is saying how much of a liar Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is, and you don't believe!" He added, "He must go home. Enough!"

This is not the first time Rahav has voiced strong opinions against political leadership. Previously, he supported former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's sharp criticism of remarks made by Rabbi Dov Lando regarding religious Zionist casualties of the October 7th attack. Rahav praised Bennett for speaking the truth and condemned the silence of the Prime Minister and right-wing ministers on the matter.
