Surprising Support for Netanyahu: "No Mistakes Have Been Made"
In a shocking turn, former Netanyahu advisor turned legal rival Nir Hefetz is praising the Prime Minister’s handling of the Iranian crisis. Hefetz cited Netanyahu’s ability to bring President Trump into the fight as a "strategic masterstroke" and claimed no mistakes have been made.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has received high praise from a most unexpected source regarding his management of the ongoing war against Iran and his success in bringing U.S. President Donald Trump into the campaign.
Nir Hefetz, the Prime Minister's former media advisor, who has been in a high-profile legal and personal dispute with Netanyahu for years, delivered the compliments during an interview with Radio Kol Barama on Thursday.
"The war is being managed well," Hefetz stated. "In times of emergency, the chaos in the Prime Minister's Office has less of an impact. Netanyahu is managing the campaign very beautifully."
Hefetz specifically pointed to the diplomatic achievement of securing American military involvement. "The fact that he brought Trump into the campaign, that is a move of strategic importance," Hefetz explained.
Despite their public rift, Hefetz concluded his assessment by acknowledging the Prime Minister's expertise in global diplomacy: "Netanyahu knows all the influential players perfectly. I don't see a single mistake that has been made in the management of this campaign."
