Businesswoman Galya Albin has made further controversial statements, this time targeting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife, Sara. These remarks follow widespread public outcry from her previous comments disparaging right-wing voters and "Bibi supporters." In a new segment from the podcast "HaKol Patuach" (Everything is Open) hosted by Avi Shushan, Albin raised personal allegations regarding the Netanyahus' marriage. "What was Bibi's disaster... it's his third marriage. I hope he did a paternity test on time," she stated, referring to Yair Netanyahu. When the host expressed shock and warned her about potential legal action from Sara Netanyahu, Albin responded, "Why should I fear the truth? I asked a legitimate question."

Albin continued her criticism, accusing Sara Netanyahu of negatively impacting the Prime Minister's mental state and decision-making. "I think the influence at home has worsened his mental state. Today the fears and the toxic environment he lives in, first of all at home... is driven by personal considerations, and that is forbidden," Albin said. She further suggested that if Netanyahu had a wife with a different psychological makeup, the country's situation and decisions regarding national security and future would be better.

These comments come after Albin's previous remarks in the same interview, where she mimicked and insulted right-wing voters and "Bibi supporters." She questioned their intelligence, stating, "Is there no connection between your hand that puts a ballot and your brain? It's a catastrophe!" Albin also claimed that Netanyahu himself despises his voters, viewing them as a "flock."

Netanyahu responded to Albin's earlier statements on his X account, expressing disgust at the "arrogance and humiliation" directed at millions of right-wing Israeli voters. He called it "nothing less than repulsive" and urged his supporters to respond at the ballot box.
