Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, confirmed on Monday in Jerusalem that his family had put its dog in quarantine, after the dog made headlines by biting two guests at a Jewish religious event they had hosted on Thursday.
“We were compelled, with sorrow, to put Kaiya into quarantine, as required by law.
Netanyahu said that he had found unspecified flaws in the conditions for canine custody in Israel that he wanted legislation to fix.
Kaiya, the 10-year-old mixed breed, which was taken in by one of Netanyahu’s sons from a rescue home earlier this year, bit the husband of Israel’s Deputy Foreign Minister and a lawmaker, both from Netanyahu’s Likud party, at a Hannuka candle-lighting.
An official also said on condition of anonymity that Netanyahu was himself also bitten by the dog that evening.
