Meni Asayag caused a scandal with a statement about Ben-Gurion's paralysis

Screenwriter Meni Asayag sparked a scandal on social media platform X by claiming that Minister Miri Regev is as responsible for the paralysis of Ben-Gurion Airport as Prime Minister Netanyahu is for the events of October 7. He also accused 'the Kaplanists and their Trojan horses' of deliberate destruction.

Screenwriter and publicist Meni Asayag caused a stormy reaction online after a post on social media platform X, where he drew a sharp parallel between the responsibility of Transportation Minister Miri Regev for the crisis at Ben-Gurion Airport and the responsibility of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the events of October 7. Asayag wrote: 'Minister Miri Regev is as guilty of the paralysis of Ben-Gurion as the Prime Minister is guilty of 7/10.' He then moved to more direct political criticism, calling 'the Kaplanists and their Trojan horses' the real culprits who 'deliberately destroy and ruin everything good, then blame others.' The post sparked an active discussion among users about the airport crisis, which occurred the day before, on Thursday, and led to severe disruptions in passenger service.
