Netanyahu’s Wife Influences Appointment of Israel’s Security Officials: Behind-the-Scenes Insights
According to the English section of webangah News Agency,citing Palestinian Sama News Agency via mehr News Agency,Sara Netanyahu,wife of the Israeli Prime Minister,recently made sharp criticisms against General Eyal Zamir,the Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF),openly stating her opposition to his appointment.
Israeli channel 12 reported that in a private conversation held in recent days, Sara Netanyahu said: “I knew Eyal zamir wouldn’t withstand media pressure. I told my husband he should not appoint him as Chief of Staff.”
This is not the first time she voiced objections about Zamir. According to this Israeli network’s revelations,last May Sara Netanyahu expressed dissatisfaction with his military approach while speaking to several Likud party members: “Did you see the Chief of Staff? Did you hear what he said? His priority is freeing prisoners rather than destroying Hamas.”
These new statements highlight once again Sara Netanyahu’s meaningful influence over Israel’s security and military decisions-particularly at a time when the IDF faces intense public pressure due to failures in achieving wartime objectives and crises involving captive Israelis.
