Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s spokesperson, Dr. Omer Dostri, is resigning from his role with immediate effect due to what unnamed sources describe as troubled ties with the premier’s wife, Sara, Channel 13 reports.
Dostri entered the role in August.
Reports over the years have claimed that Sara Netanyahu has a significant influence over top appointments.
Yisrael Beytenu leader and former finance and defense minister MK Avigdor Liberman testified in court in 2023 that she was routinely involved in political and professional appointments during her husband’s time as premier.
