Sara Netanyahu suggests Yair Golan had prior knowledge of October 7 attack
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's wife suggested in a Channel 14 interview that Democrats party chairman Yair Golan had advance knowledge of the October 7 massacre. Golan has previously testified that he arrived in the south around 08:00, roughly 1.5 hours after the attack began. The Democrats Party condemned the remarks as slanderous conspiracy theories.
