Sources who know Yossi Besad, the trusted advisor to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara, claim that he was publicly humiliated and fired by them following the embarrassing and documented incident at the opening ceremony of the 22nd Maccabiah Games, during which she allegedly shouted at him, claiming she was trampled because she was not brought into the VIP area in an orderly manner. According to those present, Besad burst into tears after being notified of his dismissal and could not believe it was happening to him, but Besad himself claims: “This is completely false, I was not fired. I have an excellent relationship with the Netanyahus.”
