Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared on an interview with Ayla Hasson on Kan 11, where his first request was for a footstool. The interview itself offered no surprising moments, with Netanyahu sticking to his talking points even when questioned about Yonatan Uriach, Qatar, and his ongoing trial. The article suggests that Hasson, who is often unfairly labeled as a right-wing supporter and propagandist for Netanyahu, was not an ideal interviewer because she was perceived as being on the same side as the Prime Minister before even asking questions.
During the interview, Netanyahu was asked if he believed a "deep state" existed in Israel. He responded affirmatively, stating "Certainly," and then turned the question back to Hasson, who remained silent, implying her agreement. The article notes that Netanyahu has been engaged in a daily routine of visiting malls, giving interviews, and releasing videos in recent days, with this interview being part of that schedule.
Despite the lack of surprising revelations in the interview, the article mentions that polls were released shortly afterward. The author, Dror Rafael, suggests that the interview failed to elicit any unexpected responses from the Prime Minister, even on sensitive topics. The piece also includes a photograph of Yonatan Uriach embracing Benjamin Netanyahu, sourced from social media.
