Ahead of a televised interview scheduled to air Monday evening on Channel 14, excerpts have been released featuring Sara Netanyahu, wife of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, discussing the media and public treatment she has received over the years.
When asked whether the media would have related to her differently if her husband had aligned with the political left, Netanyahu responded without hesitation: "Absolutely."
She then recounted a conversation with a senior media figure from years past, when Israel had only two television channels. "A senior executive at one of the channels told us: 'If you weren't the leader of this camp and were our leader instead, you would be our king.' Then they looked at me and said: 'And you, just as you are, you wouldn't need to change anything, you would be our queen. You're just married to the wrong man.'"
