First Lady Herzog Addresses Controversy Over Netanyahu's Wife's Claims

Michal Herzog, the wife of Israel's President, addressed the political storm surrounding claims made by Sara Netanyahu against MK Yair Golan regarding his actions on October 7th. In a radio interview, Herzog chose not to engage in direct political attacks but stated firmly, "I don't want to get into these things, I know what I think and I know what the facts are." She emphasized the importance of acknowledging the efforts of citizens and commanders who responded during the initial hours of the Hamas attack, saying, "I saw these heroes. We need to thank those who acted during those chaotic days."

Herzog's remarks come amid escalating political tensions related to the October 7th events and attempts to discredit public figures and commanders who fought on the front lines that day. Meanwhile, Sara Netanyahu is reportedly seeking NIS 5 million in compensation.
