"We were
compelled, with sorrow, to put Kaiya into quarantine, as
required by law," Netanyahu said on Facebook. He added that he
had found unspecified flaws in the conditions for canine custody
in Israel that he wanted legislation to fix.
The post did not say what fate might await the 10-year-old mixed
breed, which was taken in by one of Netanyahu's sons from a
rescue home earlier this year.
Kaiya bit the husband of Israel's deputy foreign minister and a
lawmaker, both from Netanyahu's Likud party, at a Hannuka
candle-lighting on Wednesday. The latter victim dismissed the
incident as "trivial".
Israel's Channel 10 TV said Netanyahu was himself also bitten by
the dog that evening - an account his spokesmen could not be
reached to confirm.
