Did Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not follow his own policy of social distancing during the Seder?
This is what many people online argued when Keshet's Channel 12's televised Seder showed the prime minister and his son Avner discussing aspects of the Seder at the family table.console.log("catid body is "+catID);if(catID==120){document.getElementsByClassName("divConnatix")[0].style.display ="none";var script = document.createElement('script'); script.src = 'https://player.anyclip.com/anyclip-widget/lre-widget/prod/v1/src/lre.js'; script.setAttribute('pubname','jpostcom'); script.setAttribute('widgetname','0011r00001lcD1i_12258'); document.getElementsByClassName('divAnyClip')[0].appendChild(script);}else if(catID!=69 && catID!=2){ document.getElementsByClassName("divConnatix")[0].style.display ="none"; var script = document.createElement('script'); script.src = 'https://static.vidazoo.com/basev/vwpt.js'; script.setAttribute('data-widget-id','60fd6becf6393400049e6535'); document.getElementsByClassName('divVidazoo')[0].appendChild(script); }Although older brother Yair lives with the 71-year old prime minister and Sara Netanyahu at the Prime Minister's Residence, Avner lives on his own.Netanyahu enforced a country-wide lock-down to prevent people from holding large seder meal and potentially infecting older family members with the coronavirus.The Prime Minister's Office reported that Avner is not residing with his parents, which means that he had been flouting the health regulations on a regular basis as an earlier video he shared on social media showed him playing with his new puppy in the yard of the Prime Minister's home.
