Merav Leshem Gonen, whose daughter Romi is among those being held in Gaza, tells Channel 12 that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s wife Sara attended their meeting yesterday with the premier and used the opportunity to laud her husband in front of the families.
“Sara really praised the prime minister and said he’s the man to look up to and trust,” she says.
The premier’s wife has come under fire for allegedly concerning herself with political matters since the Gaza war outbreak.
She reportedly sought to block National Unity chair Benny Gantz’s entry into the government, fearing he would be credited for the “victory picture” if and when the cabinet achieved success in its war aims.
