Gideon Sa'ar Accidentally Sends Insulting Message to Raviv Drucker Instead of Ahmad Tibi

Journalist Raviv Drucker revealed a private message mishap involving Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar. Sa'ar intended to send a supportive message to Knesset member Ahmad Tibi, including a link to Drucker's critical opinion piece and harsh insults directed at Drucker, such as "arrogant dog, go home yourself." However, due to a mistake, Sa'ar sent the message directly to Drucker's phone.

Drucker exposed the incident on his "War Room" program on Channel 13, highlighting the close behind-the-scenes ties between senior Likud and right-wing figures and Tibi, which Tibi leverages for achievements benefiting the Arab public. Drucker sharply criticized the hypocrisy of Likud members who publicly campaign under the slogan "Bibi or Tibi" but privately express support for Tibi and hope for his continued political presence.

Sa'ar quickly deleted the messages around 1:30 a.m., but Drucker emphasized on air that the deletion cannot erase the public stain left by the episode. The incident underscores the contrast between public rhetoric and private communications among Israeli political figures.
