Hollywood superagent Ari Emanuel, a prominent member of Los Angeles’ Jewish community, called for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to step down, saying he left the country vulnerable to last weekend’s slaughter of civilians by Hamas.
“From my opinion, a morally corrupt Bibi Netanyahu exposed Israel and its people to rape, death, beheadings of children,” Emanuel said Wednesday at the Bloomberg Screentime conference. “And he did it to stay in power.”
Emanuel, the chief executive officer of Endeavor Group Holdings Inc., said the prime minister’s appointments to homeland security positions lacked qualifications and that Netanyahu was trying to reshape the country’s high court to keep himself out of jail.
“And this led to a vulnerability,” he said. “And I just think it’s time that we get rid of this man.”
