"I was Chief of Staff": Naftali Bennett's Embarrassing Slip of the Tongue | Watch

Chairman of the "Together" party, Naftali Bennett, made a live on-air mistake when he claimed he had served as Chief of Staff, a role he never held. The hosts ignored the error.

Chairman of the "Together" party, Naftali Bennett, found himself in an awkward moment during a live interview on Radio 103, when he claimed to have served as Chief of Staff. Bennett was 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, he said: "I don't know Gofman, but I have known Eyal Zamir for many years. We worked together for years, both when I was Defense Minister, when I was Chief of Staff, and during Operation Protective Edge." Bennett never served as Chief of Staff; he was Prime Minister. The hosts, Yaron Avraham and Moriah Asraf, ignored the slip. The article also mentions a previous incident where Bennett gave two different versions within an hour regarding a warning Netanyahu allegedly received from the UAE president before October 7.
