  • Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu removed online content from a recent security policy event.
  • The event, held before elections, included political attacks on rivals Gadi Eisenkot and Avigdor Lieberman.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has removed all online traces of a security policy event held three days prior at the Prime Minister's Office. The event, which took place ten days before elections, was used by Netanyahu for political attacks against his rivals. The documentation of this event suddenly disappeared from the internet on Wednesday.

Despite being a political event during an election period, representatives from the Government Press Office were present to document Netanyahu's remarks. Also in attendance were Shmuel Ben Ezra, the head of the National Security Council, and Guy Marqizano, Netanyahu's military secretary.

The Prime Minister's Office claimed the event was not an election event and that Netanyahu was responding to political questions posed by reporters. During the event, Netanyahu reportedly attacked Gadi Eisenkot, Avigdor Lieberman, Naftali Bennett, and also made remarks against Ofer Winter.

On Wednesday, the announcement on the Prime Minister's Office website became unavailable, as did the video on the Prime Minister's Office YouTube channel. During the event, Netanyahu discussed potential future adversarial US presidents and the need to forge new alliances, mentioning India and other regional and non-regional states. He also spoke about Iran, stating that the regime is weak but will attempt to rebuild its nuclear program and weapons, and reiterated his plan for the regime's downfall, which he described as a comprehensive and determined effort.
