Alona Sa'ar Criticizes Government Including Her Father for Defying Supreme Court Ruling

Actress Alona Sa'ar publicly criticized the Israeli government, which includes her father, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, over reports that ministers plan to ignore a Supreme Court ruling regarding the Second Authority for Television and Radio. On July 6, 2026, she shared an Instagram story highlighting news that the government would not respect the court's decision, featuring images of Justice Minister Yariv Levin, Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi, and Constitution Committee Chair Simcha Rothman. Sa'ar expressed disbelief that such government behavior, once considered unthinkable, has become normalized through what she described as "lies and conspiracies." She concluded her post with a sharp rebuke, calling the situation "embarrassing" and a "disgrace" that this is the government representing the public. Her comments come amid escalating constitutional tensions in Israel, reflecting deep divisions over the judiciary's role and government authority.
