Defense Minister Israel Katz has launched an unprecedented verbal assault on businesswoman and author Galia Albin, accusing her of being a "despicable character" who "sits on a pile of cash" inherited from her late husband, who allegedly committed suicide during an investigation into financial theft. Katz's strong condemnation, published on his X account, followed controversial statements attributed to Albin, where she reportedly questioned the judgment of right-wing voters with the phrase "there is no connection between the mind and the hand." Albin also allegedly mocked Likud voters and the "Bibist" profile on the podcast "HaKol Pתוח" (Everything is Open).
Katz expressed outrage that Albin would allegedly dismiss individuals based on their origin or political affiliation, especially after three years of war where soldiers from all sectors of society have fought together in Gaza, Lebanon, and the Golan Heights. He questioned whether Albin's remarks applied to fallen and wounded soldiers, millions of citizens who have shown resilience, or hostage survivors like Liri Albag and her parents, Shira and Eli Albag, who fought for her return.
In his post, Katz further accused Albin and her associates of preferring anti-Israel Arabs in their political camp over patriotic Jewish supporters of the Likud. This exchange echoes a previous incident where activist Ronit Levi, known as "Ronit the Bibist," also referenced the tragic death of Albin's husband, Miki Albin, in the 1980s, leading to a public confrontation involving PR figure Rani Rahav.
