Netanyahu’s son says sorry as tweet offends Indians
Jerusalem, July 28
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s eldest son Yair has apologised to Hindus after he faced flak from some Indians who found one of his tweets to be “quite offensive”.
On Sunday, 29-year-old Yair posted a picture of the Hindu goddess Durga, with the face of Liat Ben Ari, the prosecutor in his father’s corruption cases, superimposed over the goddess’ face.
“I’ve tweeted a meme from a satirical page, criticising political figures in Israel. As soon as I realised it from comments of our Indian friends, I have removed the tweet. I apologise,” Yair said in a tweet. — PTI
