Comedian's Joke About Who's Boss at Home Amuses Netanyahu Couple

Comedian Yoni Sharon, known for his character 'Abu Tavla,' recently met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara, sharing an anecdote about a humorous question he posed to the Prime Minister. Sharon appeared on the program 'Israel This Morning' and revealed that during their meeting, he asked Netanyahu in Arabic, 'Who wears the pants in the house?' He explained that he posed the question humorously, saying, 'Bibi, you took down Sinwar, Haniyeh, and Nasrallah, but at home, who makes the decisions?' The question reportedly elicited laughter from everyone present, including Sara Netanyahu.

Sharon also discussed the perception of Iran's axis of resistance regarding Israeli elections. He suggested that these entities are concerned about Netanyahu remaining in power, drawing a parallel to holidays and military operations. Sharon stated that leaders of the 'axis of evil' outside Israel observe Netanyahu's actions against terror leaders and fear his continued tenure, thus preferring no elections. He elaborated that Netanyahu's past actions, like taking down leaders, are seen as a reason for their apprehension.

The comedian connected with the Prime Minister's office after a conversation with one of Netanyahu's advisors who was unable to attend one of Sharon's performances. This led to an invitation to meet the Prime Minister himself, which Sharon readily accepted, calling it a great honor. He described the conversation as very funny and content-rich, though he noted that not everything discussed made it into the official video released online.

Towards the end of the interview, Sharon drew a surprising comparison between the world of gambling, in which he is involved, and Israeli politics. He believes his expertise in gambling offers a unique perspective that can contribute to public discourse on Israeli politics, suggesting the two fields share similarities.
