Journalist Shlomi Eldar Divorces Wife Amid Defamation Lawsuit from Netanyahu

The story · English

Veteran Israeli journalist Shlomi Eldar has separated from his wife, journalist and playwright Michal Ahroni, after 26 years of marriage. The separation comes amid a tumultuous period for Eldar, who is facing a defamation lawsuit filed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Netanyahu initiated legal action against Eldar, along with Haaretz newspaper and others, following a report Eldar co-authored. The report alleged that Netanyahu received a warning from the UAE president about an impending major attack on Israel by Sinwar and that Netanyahu allegedly failed to relay this information to security officials. Netanyahu's office vehemently denied these claims, calling them "homegrown lies" and instructing lawyers to pursue a NIS 2.5 million defamation suit.

Haaretz newspaper has stated it stands behind its publication. Eldar, known for his book "Hostages, 843 Days of Abandonment," has been a prominent figure in recent discussions regarding the events leading up to the October 7th attacks.

Eldar and Ahroni, who share a significant age difference of 18 years when they began their relationship, decided to part ways after being unable to overcome their differences. Eldar has three children from a previous marriage.
