Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s trip to Bahrain comes less than two weeks after Defense Minister Benny Gantz went there, and according to a report in Kan, Bennett and his people are stomping mad that they did not get to be first.
According to a report by the station, Bennett’s aides have complained that Gantz knew about Bennett’s trip, which was planned first, and scheduled his beforehand anyway.
“He didn’t have to schedule his trip so close,” a source close to Bennett is quoted grousing.
Gantz’s office responds: “It’s hard to believe someone from the Prime Minister’s Office would say something so childish.”
Perhaps cause for more butthurt: A reporter on the trip with Bennett notes that on state TV as they land is an interview with none other than Gantz.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
