Riklin wrote on Twitter: "There was no such thing. Love Netanyahu or hate him, he fought like a lion against the nuclear agreement with Iran and did everything he could to help Israel. It is unthinkable that Bennett Fischer, who has no representation and no trust, would say that he came to the White House with good will, unlike his predecessor. The main thing is to be liked and that someone will finally like him. This is the behavior of a tormentor.".

Yaya Pink, CEO of the Derkeno movement: "26 years ago, a prime minister was murdered here after wild incitement that included issuing a persecutory and moral judgment against the prime minister. We will not abandon the public space to instigators again. A persecutory and moral judgment has a very difficult meaning in Judaism and is intended to endanger the prime minister's security. Political disputes yes, incitement no.".

Following the complaint, Riklin posted a "clarification" on his Twitter account this morning: "I called Bennett Moyser because when it comes to Israel's international problems, he immediately blames Netanyahu. It's the same with Jordan, because because of Netanyahu we handed over Zofar and Naharayim. And it's the same with Iran, where Netanyahu is to blame for the situation. And in the White House he said he came with good will, unlike his predecessor. I meant a snitcher. A snitch. A child with a beard. But I see they didn't understand, so I deleted it.".

A few hours later, he tweeted: "The sensitivity of extreme leftists to derogatory terms for the prime minister moves me. Integrity is their middle name.".
