Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has strongly condemned what he described as "disgusting condescension and humiliation" directed at millions of Israelis who vote for the right-wing. The prime minister's remarks came in response to a segment from the podcast "HaKol Pתוח" (Everything Open), hosted by media personality Avi Shoshan. In the podcast, an interviewee was seen mocking Likud voters and discussing the "profile of a Bibi supporter."
In a post on his X account, Netanyahu stated, "I was shocked, and unfortunately not for the first time, by the condescension and humiliation of millions of Israelis who vote for the right in Israel, which is no less than disgusting." He urged the national camp to respond to such rhetoric democratically, adding, "My dear brothers and sisters, our answer to this racism will be at the ballot box."
The article also references a separate incident where businessman Roni Mana echoed similar sentiments, accusing Netanyahu and his wife, Sara, of looking down on Sephardic Jews, particularly Moroccans, whom he claimed they perceive as uneducated. These statements highlight the intense ethnic and political discourse prevalent on social media within the political system.
