Businesswoman Galia Albin has again drawn criticism for controversial statements, this time targeting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his son Yair. In a recent interview on the podcast "HaKol Patuach" hosted by Avi Shushan, Albin raised a conspiracy theory questioning whether Netanyahu had a paternity test done for his son Yair.
Albin suggested that Netanyahu's third marriage was a "disaster" and speculated about Yair's parentage, stating, "I hope he did a paternity test on time, he did a paternity test." Shushan responded that Yair appeared to be his son, but Albin insisted, "No, he raised him, today it's no longer relevant." She attempted to justify her remarks by posing a hypothetical scenario about a woman informing a man of a pregnancy after a breakup.
These latest comments follow previous remarks Albin made on the same podcast that sparked outrage for their alleged racist and ethnic undertones. She had previously targeted Likud voters, particularly those of Mizrahi (Eastern) descent, with statements like "They are just Mizrahim" and imitated accents. Albin also described the "profile of the Bibiists" using gestures and mimicking chants of "Bibi," and characterized Netanyahu himself as an "Ashkenazi, privileged, snob, racist."
Critics argue that Albin's statements have crossed a line, moving beyond political debate into personal attacks and detached speculation. They contend that while freedom of expression is important, it does not legitimize baseless speculation, especially when provocation appears to be the primary goal.
