  • Public relations man Ran Rahav attacked Yair Netanyahu, calling him responsible for a "poison machine" and "social disaster."
  • Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett also criticized Yair Netanyahu in a Kan 11 interview.
  • Yair Netanyahu responded on X, accusing Bennett of attacking him and questioning his father's conduct.
  • Rahav accused Netanyahu of inciting his father and being absent from Israel during the war.
  • Bennett's interview also included criticism of Yinon Magal.

Public relations man Ran Rahav launched a scathing attack on Yair Netanyahu, son of the Prime Minister, accusing him of being responsible for a "terrible social disaster" and a "poison machine" that is tearing Israel apart. Rahav's comments came in response to a fiery exchange between Netanyahu and former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.

Bennett, in an interview with Roni Kovan on Kan 11's program "Meeting," broadcast Saturday evening, described Netanyahu as a "despicable person" who stands by his father at the head of a "terrible poison machine" that is dismantling Israel. Bennett also criticized Netanyahu for being absent from Israel during the recent conflict.

Yair Netanyahu quickly retaliated on his X account, questioning how a politician could attack the son of another politician, especially two weeks after an Iranian assassination attempt. He also contrasted his father's behavior with Bennett's, asking if his father had ever attacked the children of political rivals. Netanyahu called Bennett "trash."

Rahav then directly addressed Yair Netanyahu, stating, "You are responsible for the Armageddon among Israelis! You were out of the country the whole war! Do you think the people of Israel are stupid? You are responsible for the entire social disaster here, shame on you!" Rahav also urged Netanyahu to learn from his brother, who he said left his studies in London to enlist. Rahav concluded by accusing Netanyahu of inciting his father to do "incorrect things."

The interview and subsequent online spat also touched upon Bennett's criticism of Yinon Magal.
