Police grill suspect for social media post against Sara Netanyahu

Police question a person behind a social media post against Prime Minister Netanyahu’s wife, Sara Netanyahu, that “could amount to sexual harassment against the prime minister’s wife.”

A police statement says an investigation was opened several days ago after officers became aware of the post. The suspect was questioned today by investigators from the Lahav 433 national crime unit’s cyber division and released under restrictive conditions.

Police say their initial probe indicated the post was from 2019.

It’s not clear if the post in question was the same one highlighted by Prime Minister Netanyahu in a letter to Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit earlier today. The timestamp on a screenshot Netanyahu shared of the tweet said it was from 10 hours ago, but it’s not clear when the screen capture was taken.
