Israeli Prime Minister Neftali Bennett is under fire after he mocked former PM Benjamin Netanyahu at the Knesset earlier this week.
Israeli media reported that Zionists took to social media platforms to “vent their disappointment with the incumbent Israeli government.”
During the speech of the head of the opposition, former PM Benjamin Netanyahu, on Monday, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett was caught on camera showing a hand gesture indicating that the former premier was insane and implying that his words were insignificant.
“You, Bennett, haven’t done anything. You call this inaction and impotence a policy? It’s not only on the coronavirus,” Netanyahu told the plenum.
As Netanyahu spoke, Bennett put his hand to his face mask and then made a dismissive gesture, before raising a finger to his head in a circular motion to make a “crazy” sign.
Right-wing opposition figures criticized Bennett as his gesture prompted heated discussions on social media platforms, with Israeli tweeps venting anger with Bennett and his policies and demanding that he step down.
In recent weeks, the Israeli press has been extensively covering the situation in the Zionist entity’s hospitals, which have been lacking medical staff and equipment. Patients have been complaining about not getting the care and the attention they required. Doctors have been venting anger that their pleas to the Israeli government to help them out have fallen on deaf ears.
