Veteran journalist and television presenter Shai Golden sharply criticized remarks made by Sara Netanyahu, the wife of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, during a recent Likud party conference. Netanyahu had stated that without her husband's leadership, "we simply won't live," and urged supporters not to use terms like "government of change" or "change bloc" for the opposition. Responding to her comments on his Channel 13 program "Shishi," Golden highlighted that 1,200 Israelis were murdered on October 7th, questioning her assertion that "we won't live" without the Prime Minister. He also pointed out that the Prime Minister's elder son is in Miami with security, contrasting this with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians who risk their lives daily without such protection. Golden asserted that the Prime Minister's sons are not in mortal danger and are secured, emphasizing the difference between them and ordinary citizens. He concluded by directly addressing Sara Netanyahu, stating that Israel will continue to live and thrive even if Benjamin Netanyahu is no longer in power, and that life might even improve. However, he suggested that she and her husband might lose their will to live if they lose their grip on power, implying they are dependent on their positions.
