Sara Netanyahu intervened directly during the festive opening gathering of the 26th Knesset on Tuesday, stepping in to intervene as former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett heckled and shouted questions at Netanyahu over Oct. 7 and ties to Qatar.
The confrontation erupted while Netanyahu was addressing his Likud faction, demanding an unhindered investigation into suspected foreign financial interference in the recent elections, zeroing in on alleged Qatari funding channeled to Arab political factions.
"We must investigate to the end the grave suspicions regarding the involvement of foreign elements with large sums of money, who are suspected of having influenced the election results," Netanyahu said. "We must remove all the restrictions that the legal advisory has placed on these grave suspicions."
Netanyahu’s remarks triggered immediate pandemonium in the hall, with Bennett bursting out and shouting to challenge the prime minister's priorities: "What about investigating the events of October 7? What about your Qatari advisers?" The outburst prompted Sara Netanyahu to intervene from the gallery to rebuff Bennett and defend Netanyahu.
