Israeli Journalist Slams PM's Wife Over 'Without Him We Won't Live' Remark

Israeli Channel 13 journalist Shai Golden sharply criticized Sarah Netanyahu, wife of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, during a live broadcast. The criticism followed her statement that Israelis would not be able to continue living without the current prime minister. Golden directly addressed Mrs. Netanyahu, referencing her remarks at a Likud party women's conference where she said, "When he saves us, he saves all of our children. He saves my children too, because in reality, we simply won't live."

Golden reminded her that 1,200 Israelis were killed on October 7, 2023, while her husband was in power. He pointed out that these victims are no longer alive. He also contrasted the prime minister's elder son, Yair Netanyahu, who is reportedly surrounded by bodyguards in Miami, with hundreds of thousands of Israeli soldiers and reservists on active duty who risk their lives daily without similar protection. Golden noted that the prime minister's sons are not in danger, unlike ordinary citizens facing terror attacks and rocket fire under Benjamin Netanyahu's leadership.

The journalist asserted that Israel would continue to exist and thrive even without Benjamin Netanyahu as prime minister, suggesting life might even improve. "The state of Israel will continue to live. Even if Bibi is no longer in power. We will endure, and our lives will continue. I even believe it will get better and we will all likely have a better chance of survival," Golden stated.

Concluding his remarks, Golden told Sarah Netanyahu not to worry about the country's future, stating that Israel would endure. He suggested that while the nation would live on, she and her husband would lose their "taste for life" once they were out of power.
