Journalist and Israel Prize winner Nahum Barnea quoted Yedioth Ahronoth this morning as a statement he attributes to opposition leader MK Benjamin Netanyahu, while the remarks were not made by Netanyahu but were written in a humorous account impersonating him

. And your requests to appoint me a special envoy to Moscow so that I can mediate between Russia and Ukraine.

If they do send me, I intend to mend the rift between the parties just as I did within Israeli society as prime minister. bibisfake.

"We have taken one step too many in the name of hatred or love for Netanyahu; Bennett has not yet entered the prime minister's suit"

From Nahum Barnea's column in Yedioth Ahronoth, February 28, 2022, in which he attributes to opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu a statement that he did not say but tweeted on the Pike account (Photo: screenshot, from "Yedioth Ahronoth")

Barnea wrote this morning in a column on the front page of the newspaper that received a prominent reference from the front page, in which he noted that a mediator was needed to resolve Ukraine's confrontation with Russia.

"Opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu joined this cauldron, with all his weight," Barnea wrote.

He will contribute to her from his experience and mediate between the two personalities.

Netanyahu jumped at the chance.

It's hard to know if the tweets posted on his name on Twitter express his opinion or his sense of humor: every tweeter detracts.

"I intend to mend the rift between the parties as I did within Israeli society as prime minister," he wrote yesterday.

If I were Zelsky, I would choke. "

Political commentator Amit Segal, who writes a column in the Shabbat supplement of Yedioth alongside Barnea, was quick to sting him, tweeting today: "And the lesson for Barnea: Social networks are also a space. "Without bothering to do the minimum required of a journalist, which is cross-examination and examination. It is ridiculous and detached."
