Einav Tzengauker, mother of released hostage Matan Tzengauker, has launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following his recent television appearance. Tzengauker, who has become a prominent and vocal figure in public protests since the October 7th attacks, accused Netanyahu of spreading conspiracy theories against the IDF and its soldiers during his interview on Channel 14's "HaPatriots." She stated that the interview was "knives in the heart" of bereaved families and those affected by the failures leading up to the attacks.
Tzengauker criticized Netanyahu for not apologizing and for allegedly preventing investigations for three years. She claimed that the killing of nearly 2,000 Israelis had become a "cynical campaign event" managed by Qatari advisors, aiming to make citizens hate the IDF. She asserted that Netanyahu's actions were worse than Al Jazeera's broadcasts and constituted "the mother of all betrayals from within."
She further accused the Prime Minister of lying to bereaved families and making light of the suffering of those who were burned in shelters. Tzengauker, who previously called Netanyahu her "personal death angel," now considers him the "death angel of an entire nation," citing a "moral abyss."
Her remarks also included a political call to action, urging citizens to vote for change and warning that another failure is imminent if the current government is re-elected. She reminded the public that one year ago, 20 living hostages were returned, crediting IDF soldiers, the public, and President Trump, while also lamenting the 46 who were abducted alive and could have been saved.
The Prime Minister's interview, which prompted Tzengauker's strong reaction, focused on his opposition to a state commission of inquiry headed by Supreme Court President Yitzhak Amit.
Tzengauker herself recently drew controversy when broadcaster Yinon Magal named her among "the most despicable people in the country" during a live radio show, in reference to contributors to the 2024 book "Mr. Abandonment," which criticizes Netanyahu's handling of the October 7th events.
