Sources close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tell the Ynet news site his outgoing spokesperson, Dr Omer Dostri, is leaving the position because he has no experience in the field.

The sources deny a report earlier that his departure is due to troubled relations with the premier’s wife, Sara.

“He was incompatible. He didn’t have any experience. He was never in this profession,” the sources say, adding that he was recently told he would not be accompanying the prime minister on his trip to Washington, DC, this week.

“It wasn’t connected to Sara. The prime minister was not satisfied with him. In the meantime, Ziv Agmon will fill the position, and it is possible he could receive the role,” the sources add.
