Yair Netanyahu took to Musk's X (formerly known as Twitter) and wrote in Hebrew, "Something here is suspicious. The Kaplanist left has been frantically trying in recent weeks to cancel Independence Day celebrations and the torch-lighting ceremony."
He added, "I really hope the arson was only carried out by Arabs, without any collaboration from our own people."
Yair later deleted the post and shared a new onetelling people to search the meaning of the word "incitement" in the dictionary.
According to Quds News Network, while the cause of the fire remains unclear, Ehab Jabareen, who is an expert in Israeli affairs, accused Israel of casting the blame for failing to extinguish the ongoing fires. Moreover, he blamed the Jewish National Fund (JNF) for planting trees in an unsuitable climate.
He further stated that it was Israelis who committed arson in hopes of concealing traces of the Palestinian Nakba.
According to the Times of Israel, an individual was recently arrested in East Jerusalem after they were accused of arson.
