Yair Netanyahu, son of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, on Monday sharply criticized the political left, stating he was surprised by their continued incitement against him following revelations that Iran had sent a cell to assassinate him. "I was sure that after it was revealed that the Iranians sent a cell to murder me, the left would calm down with its incitement against me. Nothing, zero empathy, they continued to incite against me with all their might and regret that the murder did not succeed," Netanyahu wrote. He described the left as "violent, crude, insane, without boundaries or humanity."
Netanyahu's remarks came after his name resurfaced in headlines due to leaked WhatsApp messages from Yonatan Uriach. His comments also followed criticism from former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, who described the younger Netanyahu as a "despicable person who stands by his father at the head of a terrible poison machine."
Responding to Bennett, Yair Netanyahu questioned how one politician could slander another's son, especially two weeks after an assassination attempt against him by Iranians. He further asked if his father had ever slandered the child of a political rival, calling Bennett's actions "trash."
