Published: 28 June 2018

Last updated: 4 March 2024

The PM’s wife had no reason to resort to petty misuse of funds yet despite the odor, the public seems not to have blamed her husband for his wife’s crimes

Netanyahu seemingly unfazed by wife's fraud indictment (Al-Monitor)
BEN CASPIT For the time being, the indictment of Sara Netanyahu for fraud and breach of trust has not damaged the popularity of her husband, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, among Israelis

Sara Netanyahu chose the disgrace of an indictment over common sense (Ynet)
The charges filed against the prime minister’s wife tell the story of a petty woman who has been doing everything in her power to impose her personal and family expenses on the State of Israel. She could have easily avoided such a shameful indictment by paying a reasonable sum, but why would the Netanyahu family put its hand into its own pocket?
