Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, responding to a ynet question about the failure of the PR system during the war, claimed that "there is a PR system - it simply does not work according to the absurd bureaucratic dictates of our system that remains stuck in the 80s. We have very difficult PR challenges and the hardest among them is the prolongation of the war." He claimed that "the Foreign Ministry director-general handled this - we established a much more logical and organized team. The Foreign Ministry has a huge budget of hundreds of millions of shekels for propaganda means, which I will not detail, and this is important in the digital age."
