Prominent Israeli journalist Ben Caspit has launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office, likening its conduct to that of a "crime family." Caspit, a long-time critic of Netanyahu, stated in a social media post that recent revelations prove his decades-old assertion that Netanyahu's inner circle is "deranged, toxic, disturbed, and criminal."
Caspit elaborated, accusing the environment around Netanyahu of operating like an organized crime syndicate, engaging in the collection of incriminating materials on rivals, threats, evidence destruction, and disregard for laws and court rulings. He described a pervasive paranoia within the office, where anyone suspected of disloyalty is immediately ousted.
He drew a parallel between Netanyahu's appearance in court during the testimony of former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit and his own reporting on the FBI's investigation into the Gambino crime family in New York, specifically mentioning John Gotti and his associate Salvatore Gravano. Caspit suggested this behavior reflects a pattern of intimidation and defiance of the rule of law.
The journalist's strong words come amid a series of dramatic investigations and publications concerning the Prime Minister's office. These include new details in the "Qatargate" affair, involving communications from Netanyahu's advisor Yonatan Urikh with ChatGPT regarding public perception of Qatar, and testimony from former Military Secretary Maj. Gen. (res.) Avi Gill regarding the events of October 7th. Gill revealed attempts within the Prime Minister's office to alter official records of the morning's critical communications, stating that a state commission of inquiry would receive his full account of the "enormous failure" of all systems, particularly the security apparatus.
Caspit's sharp critique underscores the deepening public rift and escalating discourse surrounding the conduct of the Prime Minister's office.
