Tal Gilboa, a former "Big Brother" winner and now Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's advisor on animal issues, was filmed attacking participants in a protest for the release of abductees from the Gaza Strip: "prostitutes of victims."
In an episode of "The Source" that aired Monday night, dedicated to the journey of the family of abductee Yarden Roman for her release, Gilboa filmed a woman who put stickers on her dress calling on Netanyahu to resign, telling her, "Anyone who thinks that now he will play politics for us because he is a victim, then he can't be here, he can't be part of the families."

The woman responded to Gilboa, "You're a shame, Bibi can't be here," to which Gilboa replied: "You're just victims' whores. I'm an aunt who hasn't slept for two weeks, and you're brazen for bringing politics into this fight now." The woman went on to say that Bibi should resign, to which Gilboa said, "You are brazen that you are using our disaster." To this, the woman replied that "your tragedy was created because of Bibi," and in the background someone can be heard asking (it is not clear whether you are the woman or Gilboa), "Who do you serve?"
Gilboa continued: "You are using our disaster." The counselor was asked by two unidentified people, "Who sent you?" to which she replied, "You're putting politics in."
In response to the publication of the segment in the episode, Gilboa responded on her X account (formerly Twitter), saying that the segment was filmed about two weeks after the events of October 7. She wrote: "I stand behind every word, for those who are wondering. We need all the people of Israel with us, with a clear and especially international statement. War crimes were committed here! Does anyone think that there is one person here in Israel who does not want the abductees at home? There are people who have a different goal, and they will ride anything and continue to divide us."
Turns out I was at the "source" tonight.
Stands behind every word for those who are wondering.
We need *all* of the people of Israel with us, in a clear and especially international statement, war crimes have been committed here! There is someone who thinks there is one person here, one! In an Israel that doesn't want the abductees at home?!
Some people have a different goal and they will ride anything, and carry on... pic.twitter.com/pI9DVBKToB
