Yinon Magal Calls for Apology Over Criticism of Netanyahu Family Security After Iranian Assassination Attempt

Yinon Magal, a prominent Israeli media figure, sharply criticized opposition and media voices who have long questioned the security arrangements for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's family. His comments came amid reports of an Iranian assassination attempt targeting Yair Netanyahu, the prime minister's son. Speaking on 103FM radio, Magal challenged critics to apologize for their past dismissals of the security measures, highlighting the risks faced by the Netanyahu family. "What about apologizing for spilling Netanyahu's and his son's blood when you said all these years that he was just guarding his wife and children?" Magal said. He also condemned the public and media for mocking the security costs, urging them to reconsider their stance in light of the recent threats. This debate unfolds against ongoing public discussions about the protection of public figures and their families in Israel, intensified now by the revealed Iranian threats. Magal's remarks call for a reassessment of the criticism directed at the Netanyahu family regarding their security protocols.
