The wife of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Sara Netanyahu, has accused top army officials of attempting to orchestrate a coup against her husband.
These accusations were made during a meeting last week with several families of Israelis held captive by resistance fighters in Gaza, as reported by Haaretz newspaper on Tuesday.
“Israeli forces are seeking to stage a military coup against my husband,” Sara Netanyahu was quoted as saying by the leading Israeli newspaper. When some family members interrupted, she insisted more than once that “the army brass wants to stage a coup.”
Sara Netanyahu was not the only family member to accuse military leaders. Her son, Yair Netanyahu, made similar accusations earlier this month. On June 17, Yair accused the military and the Shin Bet security service of “betrayal” during the October 7 Hamas raid that caught Israeli intelligence and military off guard, damaging their image.
“What are they trying to hide? If there was no betrayal, then why are they afraid of external and independent parties investigating what happened?” he wrote on X.
