The son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused former US ambassador to Israel Martin Indyk of trying to “destroy the Jewish state” on Twitter.
The pair clashed after news broke that Netanyahu was allegedly “frantically” trying prevent a meeting between Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif and US President Donald Trump, according to Channel 13 reporter Barak Ravid.

Netanyahu’s son, Yair, hit back to say: “Wow. The prime minister of Israel insisted to talk to president Clinton as equal and see himself as a world leader and not as a ghetto Jew or as a court jew. I know it’s hard for you to see a proud Jew. You guys are used to Epstein type (sic).” (...)
