Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett launched a sharp attack against Yair Netanyahu, son of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and his associates, describing them as a "poison machine" that is "dismantling Israel." In an interview with Roni Kuban on Kan 11's "Meeting" program, aired Saturday, Bennett accused this machine of spreading damaging messages about political figures and bereaved families, recounting a personal incident where rumors about his mother's origins were circulated.
Bennett called Yair Netanyahu a "despicable person" leading a "terrible poison machine" alongside his father. He stated this machine had labeled Benny Gantz a "half Iranian agent" and would stop at nothing. Bennett elaborated on the alleged methods and individuals involved in this operation.
Responding to Kuban's suggestion that Yair Netanyahu might tweet against him after the interview, Bennett replied, "Okay, that's all true." Indeed, shortly after the interview aired, Yair Netanyahu posted on his X account, criticizing Bennett for attacking the son of a political rival just two weeks after an assassination attempt against him. Netanyahu questioned how Bennett could do this on taxpayer-funded media and asked if his father had ever attacked a rival's child, concluding, "What trash."
