Netanyahu: The demonstrations of the families of the abductees only strengthen the demands of Hamas/Leam
After publishing a column in the "Haaretz" newspaper this weekend against Prime Minister Netanyahu, writer and poet Eyal Maged explains why he stands behind every word he wrote in the article.
Magad, who has been Netanyahu's close friend for years, was interviewed last night by Erez Tal and Abri Gilad at Beshet 12 and said: "I don't think he was always a dictator, but it may be that he increasingly developed the personality of a dictator, all of his eyes are on staying in power."
In response to the question of whether he paid a price for his friendship with the Prime Minister, he answered: "It is clear that the friendship with Netanyahu complicated me in the distant cultural-social environment. I lost a great many readers but I have never regretted it."

"I knew Netanyahu when he was defeated and when they said he was finished, which they said dozens of times since then and it didn't happen," he said.
"I didn't think I was getting to know a prime minister, but a former prime minister. There was something very romantic and very friendly about him. He is very attentive to all kinds of unconventional things in political policy. What charmed me is that I breathed the fresh, fresh air of failure with him. I really sympathize With people who breathe this air, it's the same air I've breathed quite a bit."
According to Maged, when he watched Netanyahu at the press conference on Saturday - he saw a different person.
"It's simply unbelievable, it's not the Bibi I knew. People tell me: 'You have to strike for a sin that you didn't read correctly from the beginning.'
Maged was asked if he had tried to contact him before the article, and in response he replied: "I tried more than once since the war started. I tried to understand what was going on there inside the fortress that he is surrounded by, the human shield of all kinds of mortals. I tried to convey to him messages that he must Acknowledge and take responsibility. He was the main contractor of the city that soldiers are falling to destroy. How can he even ignore that, blurt out some side-splitting and wretched thing when he says: 'I will also answer questions'? How can you let such a person lead the camp? Where is the respect His self, what happened to him? He wasn't like that."
