Sara Netanyahu Questions Golan’s Early October 7 Response, Disavows Conspiracy Theories

In an interview, Sara Netanyahu questioned how Democrats leader Yair Golan reached the October 7 fighting early in the morning while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had not yet been informed. She said Golan was already there “dressed and ready,” but presented no evidence that he had advance knowledge. Asked directly about a “betrayal theory,” she said she was not party to theories and did not know what happened. She said a real commission of inquiry should examine the failures, while the Democrats called her remarks slander and said Golan rushed into the fighting and saved lives.
