Washington - Benjamin Netanyahu doesn't just appreciate Donald Trump's politics. He is starting to sound like him on Twitter.





Over the past year, Netanyahu has increasingly taken to social media to make policy statements. He also uses it to deride the Israeli media for its reporting on him.





"It's fun. I enjoy it," he told the foreign media at a gathering last month. While he fully supported press freedom and the right to criticise, he added: "Guess what? We should have the freedom to criticise them, and that's what I do on occasion. And it's a lot of fun."





In recent weeks, in the build up to Trump's January 20 inauguration and in the days since, some of Netanyahu's posts have adopted the president's unmistakable rat-a-tat syntax.





"President Trump is right. I built a wall along Israel's southern border. It stopped all illegal immigration. Great success. Great idea," Netanyahu tweeted on Janaury 28, posting pictures of the US and Israeli flags next to each other.

Trump retweeted it to his 23 million followers, contributing to it getting far more attention than Netanyahu's tweets normally do: 53 000 retweets and more than 100 000 likes.





The ramping-up of Netanyahu's presence on Twitter and Facebook has largely taken place since he appointed a new English-language spokesman in early 2016 - American-born David Keyes, who has a background in online video campaigns.





"He speaks directly to the people and can bypass the often deeply biased traditional media," Keyes said last month. "The prime minister's innovative use of social media is making Israel accessible and understood to countless people around the globe."





The 67-year-old prime minister also employs a 24-year-old, Topaz Luk, as director of social media strategy.





The right-wing Israeli leader has dreamed of a Republican in the White House throughout his four terms in office, including three awkward years with Bill Clinton and eight years of dust-ups with Barack Obama. Obama's term ended with Netanyahu using Twitter to accuse the outgoing president of secretly backing an anti-Israel U.N. resolution.





Trump has promised to carry out policies that Netanyahu has long sought, such as moving the US embassy to Jerusalem, rethinking a nuclear accord with Iran and keeping quiet while Israel builds more settlements. The two men will meet in Washington on February 15.











Netanyahu's critics say social media can cause trouble when posts are misunderstood.





In the case of his tweet about Trump and walls, it prompted a formal protest by the Mexican government, which saw Netanyahu as taking sides on a bilateral issue by supporting Trump's plan to build a wall on the US southern border.





Netanyahu said he was not commenting on US-Mexican relations or the wisdom of Trump's wall, simply responding to comments from Trump that praised Israel's own wall-building.





Trump may have been referring to the concrete-and-steel barrier Israel has built along and inside the occupied West Bank, which Israel refuses to call a "wall" at all, and which Palestinians regard as an illegal land grab.





The wall Netanyahu boasted about in his reply is a smaller, less controversial steel barrier on the border with Egypt largely designed to stop illegal migrants from Africa.





But whatever the source of the misunderstanding, Netanyahu knew who to blame.





"The left-wing media is engaged in a Bolshevik hunt, brainwashing and character assassination against me and my family," he said in Hebrew, before going on to invoke one of Trump's favourite phrases.

"It happens every day and night. They are producing about us a flood, there is no other word for it, a flood of fake news."

Cape Town – The people who are facing eviction from their homes in Bromwell Street, Woodstock on Tuesday said that they were not satisfied with the alternative accommodation in Wolwerivier.

According to Charnell Commando, the representative for the Bromwell residents, the people have been living in their houses for generations until March 2016, when they were served with eviction notices.

The tenants had lived there for two years unaware that the previous owner, Reza Syms, had sold the row to the Woodstock Hub. They had urged that Wolwerivier was too far from Woodstock where they have lived for decades and that the area was too far from schools, hospitals and their workplaces. City of Cape Town advocate,





Kerrisha Pillay said the city has offered the alternative accommodation and the tenants would not accept that. She told Judge Leslie Weinkoue that the alternative accommodation were reasonable because they had the necessary household facilities.





"The tenants said they would have left the place if they were given an alternative accommodation, and now the city had offered them the accommodation and they simply refused it," Pillay said. Advocate Shaldon Magardie, for the residents, said that the City of Cape Town performed unreasonable actions about the situation, pointing the fact that housing is not simply bricks and water.





"It involves other factors, we are dealing with a location factor and not just putting people under a roof," he said.





"It should be a 50/50 situation because the applicants have not unlawfully invaded the residence and the Woodstock hub bought the property fully aware that there were people living in it."

He added that the hub had rights to their property but the people also had rights to shelter. The matter was postponed to Wednesday.
