A family featured in a promotional video by former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett claims their statements of support for current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were deliberately omitted during editing. Reporter Hadar Mokhtar tracked down the family members who participated in Bennett's "Parliament" video and revealed their accusations.

According to one daughter, a significant portion of her remarks was cut from the final video. She recounted telling her father during the meeting with Bennett, "Dad, don't make things up, only Bibi," referring to Netanyahu. She stated that the published video retained "Dad, don't make things up," but the crucial phrase "only Bibi" was edited out.

Another family member criticized the production of the video, describing the meeting as staged and manipulated. "18 photographers, three Shin Bet agents, he brought the whole country, and in reality, it's all a lie," the individual said, directly addressing Bennett. "My vote will go to Bibi, that's for sure. Stop editing, you're already going out into the field, be fair with your citizens." This family member also labeled Bennett "the biggest con artist in the country."

Mokhtar concluded her report by distributing caps associated with Netanyahu to the family, referring to Bennett's original video as the "fake parliament."
