Journalist and media personality Haim Levinson has criticized Meital Saar, the wife of Kfar Saba Mayor Rafi Saar, who is currently embroiled in a corruption investigation. Levinson, known for his outspoken style on social media and television, commented on Meital Saar's public persona following the arrest of 17 suspects, including her husband and herself, by Lahav 433 investigators on suspicion of serious corruption offenses. The suspects allegedly received bribes, mostly in cash, in exchange for manipulating significant municipal tenders for construction, cleaning services, and food stalls. Levinson posted on X (formerly Twitter) that Meital Saar, described as the "negligible mayor of the periphery of Israel," exhibited "the consciousness of the Queen of England" and was "a character for reality TV." This is not the first time Levinson has engaged in public disputes. He recently clashed with Channel 14 reporter Moty Castel over Castel's prediction that former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit would evade testifying in the Netanyahu trial. After Mandelblit testified as scheduled, Levinson criticized Castel for falling for a "spin" and accused Channel 14 of running a "lie industry."
