Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu published a post on his personal Facebook page this afternoon (Tuesday), in which he attacked the announcement from this morning on the Ynet website about a new vehicle intended for use by his wife Sara.
Netanyahu began: "What does fake news look like? Here's a fresh example from today, while I'm in the middle of discussions this morning about our exit strategy from Corona.".
""First, a false headline is published on the Winnet website: 'Especially for Sarah Netanyahu: A new armored vehicle costing more than a million shekels.' After a short time, the Shin Bet shatters the false advertisement with an official statement: This is not a new vehicle purchased for the security mission of the Prime Minister's wife. This is one vehicle from a series of vehicles ordered 3 years ago, intended to replace a fleet of armored vehicles for secured individuals.
""This is a professional decision by the Shin Bet and the Security Division in the Prime Minister's Office - the security personnel have no part in making decisions in the matter.".
The Prime Minister stated: "The balloon exploded within an hour, but the damage was already done. I don't even expect them to apologize.".
He said, "The left-wing media is once again blackening and shedding the blood of my wife Sarah, as it has done every day for more than 20 years.".
He added: "I don't know many people who would endure such a terrible hunting expedition for years, but I know very well that the public already knows how to distinguish between truth and lies.".
""My beloved wife Sarah, I appreciate you for your steadfast stand in the face of the persecution and lies of the media. Thank you that despite everything you continue to do only good for all the citizens of Israel and for our family.".
