In his various interviews given to the Israeli media, Bennett insisted that Shmueli “was not killed, but fell while on duty.”

“Shame,” Barel’s mother, Nitza Shmueli, wrote on Facebook. “I promise you, Bennett, we’ll meet,” he added.
Shmueli later deleted the Facebook post where he called Bennett a “killer”, but went on to write another post, this time calling him a “clown” and claiming that the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas had given him the title of prime minister.
“Bennett, clown, do you even know what a battle is?” Barel’s mother wrote. “The head of Hamas bribed you with a few votes, you are only prime minister because of Hamas,” Shmueli falsely claimed.

“Barel fell during the battle as a Border Police officer while protecting the border, it’s as simple as that,” the prime minister said in Tuesday night’s interviews.
Bennett also praised the official fall of the Border Police, saying the Israeli public was exposed to a “Zionist warrior.”
