British TV personality compares Israeli prime minister to Hamas while Netanyahu’s son accuses him of antisemitism and going “full Nazi” in online debate over the Gaza war.
British television personality Piers Morgan and podcaster Yair Netanyahu, son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, traded insults in an online debate over the war in Gaza on Friday amid widespread criticism over Morgan’s comments on footage of an Israeli hostage held by Hamas.
The dust-up on X began after Morgan tweeted a video clip from a BBC report claiming 100 children were allegedly shot in Gaza, captioning the post: “Most moral army in the world.”
Yair Netanyahu was quick to respond to Morgan, who fended off criticism from other X users over his defense of casualty figures publicized by the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry.
