Yosef Haddad, an Israeli hasbara activist, published a scathing post on social media attacking Yair Golan, a reserve major general and former deputy chief of staff, and the British newspaper 'The Telegraph' for presenting Golan as a candidate for prime minister. Haddad emphasized that the severity of the matter stems from Golan's military past, claiming that every soldier and fighter in the IDF knows the statement is false. He asserted that there is a clear line between legitimate political debate and harming state security and IDF soldiers, defining the remarks as a 'red line' and a 'shame and disgrace.' In response, Golan accused Netanyahu of bringing the issue back to the headlines, claiming that Likud launched a smear campaign against 'The Democrats' and himself, and that a British right-wing newspaper associated with support for Netanyahu is echoing the same lie. Golan compared the affair to the Urich, Einhorn, and 'Bild' case, calling for an end to it at the ballot box. In conclusion, Haddad hinted at a possible entry into political life, saying that the desire to fight those who cause diplomatic damage strengthens him.
