Sara Netanyahu Says Israel Won't Survive Without Her Husband

Sara Netanyahu, wife of the Prime Minister, stated on Thursday that the country would not survive if her husband, Benjamin Netanyahu, were not in politics. Speaking at a meeting with Likud activists, she explained that Netanyahu had opportunities for a comfortable life and lucrative lecture fees but chose to "stay and fight." She added that she, as a citizen and mother, believes his actions protect all children, including their own, "because we simply won't live" otherwise.

Netanyahu also urged activists to change the terminology used by right-wing media and supporters. She requested they stop referring to the current government as the "change government" or the "change bloc," arguing these terms have positive connotations that should not be adopted. When a participant called the government a "government of deception," she repeated the word "deception."

Businessman Roni Mana, a vocal critic of the Netanyahu family, reacted angrily to her remarks on social media. He claimed that Sara Netanyahu "manages the country" and described her as "sick in the head" and "talking nonsense." Mana also asserted that she genuinely believes the country would be lost without her husband as Prime Minister, viewing him as divine. He specifically challenged her statement about saving children, suggesting Netanyahu's actions only save his own family, not others'. Mana, who claimed to know the inner workings of the family, stated that she controls Benjamin Netanyahu and that he does whatever she says, dismissing her profession as a psychologist by calling her "psychotic" and "out of control."
