Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has appointed a new media advisor who has tweeted critically against President Joe Biden
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has appointed a new media adviser who has tweeted critically against President Joe Biden, the daily Haaretz reported.
The appointment comes at a time when U.S.-Israel relations are strained.
Gilad Zwick, a journalist with a conservative Israeli TV station, has, in his tweets, called Mr. Biden "unfit" to rule and said that he was "slowly but surely destroying America".
He also posted tweets suggesting that he supported President Donald Trump's false claims that the 2020 U.S. election was rigged. The tweets were still online on June 5.
Both Mr. Netanyahu's office and Mr. Zwick did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Mr. Zwick previously worked for Israel Hayom, a pro-Netanyahu daily.
Mr. Zwick's appointment comes as ties between Israel and its closest ally, the U.S., are fraught over a contentious Israeli government plan to overhaul the judiciary and over the government's ultranationalist character.
Mr. Biden has publicly expressed concern over the Netanyahu government's plan to reshape the legal system, which has sparked mass protests that continue weekly even after the plan was put on hold.
