Israeli rapper Ron Nesher shared a video on Instagram from an old interview where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed term limits for the premiership. In a 1997 interview with Dan Shilon, Netanyahu stated his support for limiting a prime minister to two terms, a stance Nesher sarcastically commented on, saying, "If a person were rewarded for lies, he would be the most rewarded." This is not the first time Nesher has publicly criticized Netanyahu. Following the October 7th events, Nesher questioned Netanyahu's claims about prior warnings of attacks before elections, asking who bears responsibility for preventative measures before an election when the prime minister holds power. He also criticized Netanyahu's communication style, suggesting he speaks eloquently but fails to interpret his own statements, drawing a parallel to another prime minister who claimed not to have been woken up. Nesher also targeted Yinon Magal, a prominent supporter of Netanyahu and host of "HaPatriotim" on Channel 14. Nesher responded to Magal's criticism of a satirical portrayal of the late comedian Uzi Cohen on the show "Eretz Nehederet," suggesting Magal's comparison implied his own show was also satirical and should not be taken seriously.
