Sara Netanyahu Shouts at PM and Staff During Maccabiah Opening Ceremony in Jerusalem

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attended the Maccabiah Games opening ceremony on Wednesday evening at Teddy Stadium in Jerusalem, delivering a celebratory speech to Jewish athletes emphasizing unity and strength. However, behind the scenes, an unusual and embarrassing incident occurred involving his wife, Sara Netanyahu. According to Channel 13 news reporter Michael Shemesh, Sara Netanyahu shouted at the Prime Minister and his aides during the event, expressing frustration by saying, "Because of you, I argued here with people. You made me argue with people." She also complained to Netanyahu's advisors, "You need to take care of me. Why am I not allowed to pass?" Eyewitnesses reported that she felt slighted for not being properly included in the event's arrangements. Journalist Uri Misgav posted a video on Facebook showing Sara Netanyahu appearing visibly uncomfortable and speaking to the Prime Minister and those around him, possibly near the event's conclusion. Shemesh noted that her complaints lasted several minutes in front of many attendees, and the video was recorded after the situation had somewhat calmed down.
