Yair Netanyahu says father is amused, entertained by mass protests against him
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s son Yair told Israel Airwaves radio earlier today that his father is entertained and amused by the growing protests against him.
He compared his father to late Likud leader Menachem Begin, who stepped down amid mass protests of his handling of the 1982 Lebanon War.
“My father’s a strong man. It makes him laugh,” Netanyahu said. “He sees what we all see, these freaks at the protests, it makes him laugh, like entertainment. I sometimes show him some selected bits from the demonstrations… it entertains him and even gives him strength.”
