Netanyahu joked in Mimouna about his gray hair returning: "Sometimes there are miracles...""

April 17, 2017   

After weeks of dealing with the prime minister's changing hair color, Netanyahu addressed the issue again tonight. During the event for the donation of Aharon and Ilana Levy in Hadera, the prime minister said: "I want to wish you all a happy, colorful, beautiful holiday. Someone asked me before we entered, 'How did it come back so quickly?' (-the gray color in the hair). "I told him: 'Sometimes there are miracles' - but I promise you that I will continue to be colorful. Be happy and feast. Happy holidays to you all." This was Netanyahu's second reference to dealing with his hair, after he first responded on the eve of the holiday - and with self-humor. In a video he uploaded to social media, Netanyahu is photographed with his wife Sara against the backdrop of the Galilee landscapes - he said. "Look beautiful here in nature in the Galilee, everything is wonderful, everything is blooming and beautiful. Everything is green, a little brown, and I'm not talking about the color of my hair, okay? By the way, they say brown is the new gray, but I promise, wait a few weeks and the old gray will grow out," he promised. In the past month, Netanyahu's hair color has undergone frequent changes, and social media and some media outlets have been quick to point out "all of Netanyahu's colors." In recent days, those close to the prime minister have explained that the changes stem from a new book rotation at the prime minister's residence, and from the difficulty of being precise in the desired shade. Netanyahu has apparently decided to address the entire issue with humor while exploiting the situation to his advantage.
