Sara Netanyahu, wife of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, triggered a sharp political confrontation Monday evening after raising a question during a broadcast on Channel 14. "How was Yair Golan dressed and groomed on the morning of October 7 when the prime minister didn't yet know?" she asked. The Democrats party, where Golan serves as a prominent figure, swiftly condemned her remarks as "lies and falsehoods."
Netanyahu's comments centered on comparing Golan's state on the morning of the October 7 Hamas attack with that of the prime minister. She emphasized that Golan was, in her words, "dressed and groomed," while the prime minister, according to her phrasing, "didn't yet know" about the unfolding assault.
The Democrats party issued a direct response: "The Democrats party strongly condemns the lies and falsehoods of Sara Netanyahu this evening." The party then escalated its criticism, linking Netanyahu's question to broader allegations against Golan. "Spreading conspiracies against Major General Yair Golan, and blackening his heroism on October 7, crosses a red line bordering on madness," the statement continued.
The party's response addressed Sara directly and came immediately after her on-air comments. Democrats officials characterized her words not merely as a question about Golan's conduct that morning, but as a serious allegation against him, which they categorically rejected.
