On election day, Sara Netanyahu confronted Ido Norden, the acting head of staff in the Prime Minister's Office, telling him, "You have nothing to return to the office for, we are losing because of you." The incident, revealed by Channel 13, comes amid reports of Norden's diminished standing within the Prime Minister's Office.
Sources within the office indicated that Norden has been excluded from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's inner circle and is no longer accompanying him on car journeys. Concurrently, Tzachi Braverman was seen alongside Netanyahu at an election event.
Norden assumed the role of acting head of staff in April 2026, succeeding Ziv Agmon. Previously, he worked for a decade as an economist at the Bank of Israel, served as a senior advisor to the Director-General of the Prime Minister's Office, and headed the Chief Scientist's office at the Ministry of Economy, later leading the Israel Innovation Authority.
