Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s son Yair writes, “The madness of Ronen Bar and the Deep State shows that they have a lot to hide about October 7.”

“That’s why they are demanding a “state” cover-up committee headed by their friends on the Supreme Court,” Yair Netanyahu writes in a Facebook post, dismissively referring to the state commission of inquiry that Bar has demanded be launched into Hamas’s October 7 onslaught.

The overwhelming majority of the public supports such an inquiry, but the premier and members of his government have pushed back against the call, as state commissions are headed by former Supreme Court justices. Netanyahu and his son have callously referred to Israel’s judiciary as being part of the “deep state.”

The rhetoric employed by the younger Netanyahu highlights how much has been adopted by his father who earlier this week posted a video blasting the “leftist deep state.”
