He died knowing who was after him."

Ronen Tzur responded to the social network yesterday, writing: "Seeing that some members of the cult are excited by some tweets from years ago then make it clear: There were issues that I thought were different from the president (not that it matters to anyone). In the meantime, it turns out to be the most courageous president in the United States. For the security of Israel in recent generations and together with millions of Israelis: salute him. "

Ronen Tzur told his environment that "the tweets were in the context of the attitude towards the immigrants and it upset me very much as a son of Holocaust survivors." In white and blue, they did not like the tweet that made the headlines. Sources in the list told "Israel Today" that "It is a shame that this unnecessary tweet has now become a discourse. On the other hand, tomorrow it will already be forgotten with Netanyahu's immunity hearings."

On the other hand, Likud was furious with things. A Likud official said: "Political ignorance and irresponsibility of Benny Gantz bring with him his personal adviser Ronen Tzur, who has named US President Donald Donald Trump, and posted a slew of tweets against him on social networks." Let us hope that Gantz's irresponsibility does not hurt Israel's national interests vis-à-vis the US government. "
