Online spat with David Cameron
Eylon Levy, a former government spokesman, has debunked claims that he was dismissed due to an online argument with UK Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron. The London-born Levy clarified that he was actually ousted at the demand of Benjamin Netanyahu's wife, Sara, over his past criticism of her husband.
Reason for dismissal
Levy set the record straight during an appearance on Trending In The News’s Never Mind the Ballots show. He explained that Sara Netanyahu wanted him removed because of his involvement in protests against the government's judicial reforms and previous social media posts criticizing her husband.
Domestic Israeli politics
Levy highlighted that the real reason behind his dismissal was linked to domestic Israeli politics, with Mrs. Netanyahu's desire for his removal being widely reported in Israel. He emphasized that his social media interactions with Lord Cameron were sensationalized and blown out of proportion by the Israeli media.
US stance on Gaza conflict
Levy's appearance on the show coincided with Lord Cameron advocating for increased aid to Gaza while also insisting on not tolerating a terrorist state in the region. The growing disagreement between the US and Israel regarding the conflict with Hamas was also discussed, with Levy criticizing President Biden's stance as the war continues.
Israel's determination against Hamas
Despite Biden's criticism and pressure, Levy expressed Israel's resolve to continue targeting Hamas until the group is defeated. He denounced Biden for allegedly prioritizing political considerations over the ongoing conflict and accused him of undermining Israel's efforts.
