Yair Netanyahu, the outspoken son of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, took to Twitter on Thursday to remind Israeli voters that back in 2015, when Donald Trump was running for president, members of the Prime Minister’s main rival on the left – the Yesh Atid Party, signed a letter to ban Donald Trump from entering Israel.
One of the signatories wass Israel’s former health minister, Yael German, who is a member of Yair Lapid’s Yesh Atid’s party. Yair Netanyahu noted that she was “handpicked and reselected by Lapid” since the signing of the letter to be a top official in his party. He also noted that although many believe that Benny Gantz is Netanyahu’s main rival, Gantz is actually a mere puppet and that Yair Lapid is the one who really calls all the shots as expressed in the tweet thread below:

>> he wish and the party is a total dictatorship of him (there’s no primaries there like in Likud). You can see in the picture ,one of the main Knesset members from “Yesh Atid” that signed the letter is Yael German. Since then, she was handpicked and reselected by Yair Lapid >>

>>to be a Knesset member on his behalf on the 2 elections of 2019, and on the one we’re facing now on March 2020. Yair Lapid and “Yesh Atid” are the main backbone of “blue and white” party today. Benny Gantz is simply the puppet of Lapid, which make all the decisions for him.
