Former Deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel Reveals Pressure to Betray Her Principles Amid Resignation
Following her resignation and a critical letter to Gideon Sa'ar, former Deputy Foreign Minister and Knesset member Sharren Haskel addressed tough questions in a WhatsApp conversation with journalist Moshe Nosbaum. She explained how she was surprised by the new conscription law despite her faction's consistent support for Prime Minister Netanyahu. Haskel clarified why she portrayed her resignation as spontaneous, revealing that she had already begun shaping the "Israel First" profile in May.
She also shared her views on Minister Yariv Levin and disclosed that she received offers to betray her core beliefs. Additionally, Haskel accused members of the New Hope party of being required to photograph their votes for the State Comptroller and present them to the Prime Minister. The interview was published on July 23, 2026, by N12 magazine.
