Sara Netanyahu has accused Israeli military leaders of wanting to carry out a military coup against her husband, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The accusations came during a meeting last week with a number of families of Israeli prisoners in Gaza, according to what the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported on Tuesday.
The newspaper quoted Sarah Netanyahu as saying, “Army leaders want to carry out a military coup against my husband.”
When a number of family members interrupted her that she could not say that she did not trust the Israeli army, she responded by saying that her mistrust “is not the entire army, but rather its senior leaders.”
The newspaper noted that Sarah Netanyahu insisted that “army leaders want to carry out a military coup” against her husband.
Statements by Netanyahu’s son
Sarah is not the only one from the Netanyahu family to accuse the army commanders, as her son Yair preceded her in doing so.
On June 17, Yair (Netanyahu’s son) accused the army and the General Security Service (Shin Bet) of treason in the face of the attacks of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the Gaza Strip on October 7.
He wrote on the X platform – Monday – saying, “What are they trying to hide? If there is no betrayal, why are they afraid of external and independent parties investigating?”
He added, “Why do army and intelligence leaders continue to claim that Hamas has been deterred? Where was the Air Force on October 7?”
During the past months, a number of Israeli military, security and political leaders said that they bear responsibility for the failure that led to the attack of last October 7, but Netanyahu still refuses to bear any responsibility for the attack.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been waging a devastating war on the Gaza Strip, resulting in nearly 124,000 martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing people, amid massive destruction and famine that claimed the lives of children.
Israel continues its war on Gaza, ignoring the UN Security Council resolutions to stop it immediately, and the orders of the International Court of Justice to end the invasion of Rafah (south), and to take measures to prevent acts of genocide and improve the dire humanitarian situation in the Strip.
