Israel's Attorney-General Requests Investigation of Sara Netanyahu on Suspicion of Disrupting Prime Minister's Trial

Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara ordered the Israel Police to open an investigation into suspicions that Sara Netanyahu harassed a witness and disrupting judicial proceedings.
The wife of the Israeli PM appeared to be behind demonstrations in front of the homes of Netanyahu prosecutor Liat Ben-Ari and central witness Hadas Klein.
Lahav 433 will probably be conducting the sensitive investigation against Sara Netanyahu.
Earlier in the day Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu published a four-minute video in which he condemned the investigation and the media's treatment of his wife:
"On the premise that baseless charges against me collapse day by day in court and will collapse further later. These days, the left and the media have found a new old target, mercilessly attacking my wife Sara, the pillar of my life."
Sara Netanyahu, the Lady MacBeth of Israel, is certainly no Michelle Obama.
Israeli psychologists have called on the Health Ministry to review Sara Netanyahu's fitness to practice psychology, citing concerns over her alleged conduct amid Benjamin Netanyahus ongoing trial and previous odious behavior.
In 2016, Sara Netanyahu was found guilty of abusing her household staff. The Jerusalem labor court awarded Meni Naftali
$42,000 in damages and court costs. The former chief caretaker at Netanyahus official residence said Sara Netanyahu had used abusive language and insulted him.
In addition to this nettlesome corruption trial and now this judicial interference case against his wife, PM Netanyahu has an international arrest warrant issued against him by the International Criminal Court (ICC). Moreover, he faces a potential 9/11-style commission investigation about his mishandling and cover-up of the 7 Oct 2023 attacks which led to 1,200 Israelis being killed and 250 captives taken.
All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
