’Israeli’ PM’s Dog Bites Political Visitors

Local Editor

"Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recently adopted dog Kaiya sunk her teeth into her new position, biting two visitors at an event on Wednesday, including the husband of the so-called deputy foreign minister.

At a candle-lighting ceremony, the 10-year-old mixed breed also took a snip at a MK from Netanyahu's Likud party.

Knesset Member Sharren Haskel, a veterinary nurse, dismissed the incident, telling Army Radio it was "trivial".

Netanyahu's son took the dog in from a rescue home earlier this year. The "Israeli" prime minister posted a picture on Twitter in August urging dog-lovers to seek out adult canines to adopt, saying "You won't regret it!".
