Netanyahu Confidant and Shadow Broker Mordechai Sander Dies at 67

Mordechai (Moti) Sander, a businessman and confidant of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, died Sunday at 67. Sander acted as a discreet intermediary between political figures, including Netanyahu and President Herzog. He gained public attention in January 2026 for claiming Herzog offered to help Netanyahu with legal issues in exchange for presidential election support, which both the President's Residence and Likud denied. Netanyahu has historically utilized such shadow figures for communication.
