PM’s office uploads edited video to YouTube that cuts out moment when Netanyahu forgot his son’s name
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office has uploaded a video to the official YouTube account of the Prime Minister’s Office that cuts out a portion of a speech this week in which he forgot his younger son Avner’s name.
The new version of the video includes a jump cut that skips over that part of the speech, during which Netanyahu initially referred to his son as Abraham.
“What’s his name?” Netanyahu said before asking someone in the crowd his son’s name. “Avner, thanks.”
After chuckling, Netanyahu jokingly brushed off the memory lapse, saying, “No, I was testing you.”
