Israeli media personality and presenter Abri Gilad ignited a firestorm on social media after sharing comments made on his radio show, 103fm, regarding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his family. Although Gilad removed the post shortly after publication, his remarks, which had already gone viral on X (formerly Twitter), continued to draw significant reactions.
In his broadcast, Gilad sought to differentiate between personal criticism and his stance on the leadership's actions, stating that his feelings toward the Prime Minister, his wife, and son stemmed from compassion rather than hatred. "I have no hatred towards Benjamin, Sara, and Yair Netanyahu, I have hatred towards their actions and not towards them personally," Gilad stated on the radio program. He elaborated that he felt pity for them, believing they were incapable of rising above their circumstances and were controlled by their "lower selves" and external factors, operating from "outer shells" that constantly seek conflict.
Gilad also directed sharp criticism at the Prime Minister's inner circle, suggesting that the influence of his family and close associates prevented Netanyahu from realizing his historical potential. "I am truly sorry for them, because Benjamin Netanyahu could have been one of the greatest people ever, but his soul, fueled mainly by his family and associates, most of whom are very low-level people, prevents him from transcending," Gilad said.
Concluding his monologue, Gilad offered a pessimistic assessment of Netanyahu's historical legacy, contrasting his intellectual abilities with his conduct. "This is Netanyahu's greatest tragedy," Gilad summarized. "He could have been a leader etched in world history for a thousand years, but he will not be. His memory will be erased due to his soul being unsuited to the magnitude of his intellectual, analytical, and intellectual genius."
