Naftali Bennett, chairman of the Together party, launched a scathing attack on Yair Netanyahu, son of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling him a "despicable person" who leads a "terrible poison machine" that is "dismantling Israel." Bennett accused Netanyahu's inner circle of spreading slander against political rivals and bereaved families, claiming these actions are directed by the Prime Minister himself.
During an interview, Bennett elaborated on the "poison machine," describing it as a small group of close advisors who "inject poison into the minds of Israeli citizens" daily. He alleged that while Netanyahu speaks "statesmanlike," his associates "defile bereaved families and everything else, there is no limit." Bennett further claimed that these messages are disseminated through media outlets and figures identified with the right, mentioning Yaakov Bardugo, Yinon Magal, and Channel 14.
Bennett shared a personal anecdote about a rumor spread about his own mother, claiming she was Christian. He recounted how this rumor, initially dismissed as "nonsense," eventually impacted his mother's daily life, with a fellow participant in her Pilates class congratulating her on "joining our people." Bennett stated, "When you say my mother is Christian, and her family was erased in the Holocaust, then these people are truly the most abhorrent people that the State of Israel has produced."
He concluded by reiterating that Yair Netanyahu is at the "center" of this operation, alongside other "Qataris" and those he previously mentioned.
