Benjamin Netanyahu is known for his refusal to be interviewed, whether it is on television, radio, in print or on any other platform. Once every few months he agrees to be interviewed, and provides interesting statements that lead to a lively public debate. Last night (Thursday), Netanyahu was interviewed on Yaakov Bardugo’s program on Channel 14, where he spoke mainly about the political issues of the episode, but also addressed other things.
“I have a shadow writer, his name is Benjamin Netanyahu”
Bardugo asked Netanyahu about the book that Netanyahu is currently writing. As you may recall, in recent months it has been reported that Netanyahu is writing a book in which he addressed the political storms we have experienced in recent years. Bardagogo asked if Netanyahu had a shadow writer to help him, and the former prime minister replied: “Yes. He has been working with me for nearly 40 years, he writes the speeches and the books for me. His name is Benjamin Netanyahu.”
At the interviewer’s request for a taste of the book, Netanyahu replied that “a little patience, it will be okay,” but revealed about the writing process and said that he writes the book in handwriting and only then types it in an orderly manner.
“My father was the character who influenced me the most”
Later, Netanyahu was asked about the influential figures in his life. Netanyahu answered without hesitation: “In life without a doubt, my late father. Prof. Benzion Netanyahu. “Netanyahu added about his family:” My brother Yoni, a great influence, and of course my mother, a soldier’s wife, born in Petah Tikva. “
He also elaborated on historical figures: “In the historical figures I always say Herzl, but recently I also added Aaron Aaronson. I do not know his huge contribution. He was a revered figure, that the more I delve into the story of his life and death I learned a lot from it. He was “A personality that has the power to break through the gates of the country and give refuge to masses of Jews. We lost it when it died.”
