Media personality Judy Nir Moses, formerly married to Likud minister Silvan Shalom, has voiced strong criticism of the current Israeli government's conduct and the complex political situation. Set to appear on the television show "HaMitzach HaM'tzach VIP," Moses expressed disappointment in an interview with "Mako" that values she grew up with, and which her parents and grandparents fought for, are being trampled. She specifically cited the Supreme Court (Bagatz) and the transfer of funds to the ultra-Orthodox community as examples.
Moses stated, "I've never seen a situation in Israel where there's been a war for three years and only one segment of the public bears the burden, and only for one segment of the public do children die and children get injured. Mothers from an entire sector receiving billions sleep soundly at night, and it simply infuriates me." She also expressed concern for the country's future, noting that many of her close friends have left Israel.
"I'm not very optimistic because I know so many people who have left the country and moved to various places around the world, good, educated, working people," she said, adding, "I wish I'll be the happiest to be wrong because I have three children, siblings, nieces, and nephews, and an ex here."
Moses and Shalom were a prominent couple in Israeli politics and media for years before their official separation in 2017 and subsequent divorce. They have three children together. Shalom served as a minister and Knesset member for the Likud party until his retirement from public life in 2015. Judy Nir Moses is a media figure and belongs to the Moses family, former controlling shareholders of the Yedioth Ahronoth group.
