Bennett blurted out 'I was chief of staff' – and the web erupted: 'He also liberated the Western Wall'

Naftali Bennett said in a radio interview on 103FM that "I was chief of staff," despite never having held that position. The hosts ignored the slip of the tongue, but on social media, users shared memes and jokes about his remarks.

Chairman of the "Together" party, Naftali Bennett, found himself in an awkward moment during a radio interview on 103FM yesterday (Wednesday) when asked whether he trusts Mossad Director Roman Gofman and Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir to prevent an unnecessary military campaign against Iran before the elections. In his response, Bennett said: "We worked together for years, both when I was Defense Minister, when I was Chief of Staff, and during Operation Protective Edge" – despite never having served as Chief of Staff. The pair of hosts, Yaron Avraham and Moria Asraf, ignored the slip of the tongue, and Moria Asraf continued to ask about the Mossad Director. On social media, users did not hold back: 'Patriots' host Yinon Magal shared an edited photo of Bennett in Chief of Staff uniform, Yonatan Orich wrote "I miss the days when Bennett was Chief of Staff," and other users posted memes in which Bennett liberates the Western Wall, brings the Tablets of the Law, or claims he was a doctor. The article presents these reactions without a response from Bennett.
