Ad: Meet the ‘Bibi-Sitter’

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has a new TV ad, which features the Likud party leader babysitting (or “Bibi-sitting”) for a family. Watch the ad below:

In the ad, the prime minister mentions the other choice for “taking care of the children”: Isaac “Buji” Herzog and Tzipi Livni, the leaders of the left-wing political alliance in Israel’s upcoming elections.

“Buji? Our children will have to take care of him!” says the father, according to a translation.

“By the time we get home, we won’t have a house left,” the mother says.

“He’ll even give away the carpet,” the father jokes.

When the parents return from their night out, they greet Netanyahu with a “shalom,” which means “peace.”

“Not unconditionally,” Bibi responds.

The polls in Israel seem to be moving in Bibi and Likud’s direction. Meanwhile, Netanyahu’s government has received pushback from the Obama White House after the Israeli prime minister accepted an invitation from House speaker John Boehner to speak to Congress in March.
