Sara Netanyahu, wife of ‘Israeli’ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, took part in an interview with a leading candidate for the position of the prime minister’s military secretary, according to a report by Hebrew Channel 12.
The interview involved Brigadier General Guy Markizano, who currently serves as the military secretary to Defense Minister Israel Katz.
Sources indicated that Prime Minister Netanyahu was not present in the room during the discussion, which took place in the company of the premier’s chief of staff, Ido Norden.
The conversation was described as substantive rather than mere small talk, focusing on assessing the candidate’s suitability.
This development occurs as Prime Minister Netanyahu prepares to appoint a successor to Major General Roman Gofman, who recently assumed the role of director of the Mossad intelligence agency.
Gofman was sworn in on June 2, 2026, following approval by ‘Israel’s’ High Court of Justice.
His departure from the military secretary position has created a vacancy in a critical advisory role that coordinates between the ‘Israeli’ military and the prime minister’s office.
Sara Netanyahu has faced repeated accusations over the years of involvement in political and professional appointments within her husband’s administration.
Similar reports have emerged in the past, including claims that she interviewed candidates for senior positions, raising questions about the extent of her influence in governmental matters.
