Yair Netanyahu Blasts Military Chief for Not Condemning Hamas Attack on Israel
Israeli Prime Minister's Son Attacks Military on Instagram
Yair Netanyahu Accuses Herzi Halevi of "Cowardice"
In a scathing Instagram post, Yair Netanyahu, the son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has attacked the country's military chief, Herzi Halevi, for not condemning a recent Hamas attack on Israel.
The attack, which killed seven Israelis and injured 20 others, occurred in Jerusalem on Friday. Halevi has not publicly commented on the attack, which has drawn criticism from Netanyahu and others.
"Cowardice at its finest," Netanyahu wrote in his Instagram post. "The IDF [Israeli Defense Forces] Chief of Staff is afraid to condemn Hamas for the terror attack in Jerusalem."
Netanyahu's post has gone viral on social media, with many users expressing support for his views. However, some critics have accused Netanyahu of political grandstanding and trying to undermine the military.
The military is currently investigating the Jerusalem attack. It is unclear whether Halevi will publicly comment on the attack before the investigation is complete.
