EXCLUSIVE: Sara Netanyahu, the wife of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has warned of the growing dangers of anti-Semitism and attempts to undermine the relationship between Christian and Jewish communities.
Her comments followed her four-day visit to the US for the ‘Be Best’ First Ladies’ Summit, which she attended at the invitation of first lady Melania Trump.

“Their courage to stand firm against Israel’s enemies is worthy of appreciation. They are ours [unofficial] ambassadors, and I hope our partnership will continue to grow and strengthen,” she added.
Netanyahu said Israel hosted the president’s closest adviser and head of the White House Faith Office, Paula White-Cain, in July for a special event attended by both her and the prime minister and broadcast to millions of Christian viewers around the world.
After the killing of 1,200 people by Hamas on October 7, 2023 in Israel, anti-Semitism increased worldwide, including in the US.

Investigators said Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, accused of attempting to attack a synagogue in Michigan on March 12, was radicalized by Hezbollah.
Meanwhile, a federal investigation last month found that some faculty members “legitimized and reinforced anti-Semitism” during protests against Israel’s war in Gaza. Camps spread across campuses, often demanding divestment from Israeli-affiliated institutions and Jewish organizations.
On March 20, the Trump administration sued Harvard for failing to protect Jewish and Israeli students and enabling anti-Semitism.
“We are engaged in an existential war – a war of good versus evil – against a power that wants to destroy Israel and the world,” she said.
“Leaders of the Iranian regime have publicly burned the flags of Israel and the United States. They have called Israel the ‘Little Satan’ and America the ‘Great Satan’.”
She continued: “Israel has never had a better friend than Donald Trump [Israeli] Prime Minister, they are reshaping the Middle East and creating an opportunity for a new future for the entire free world,” she added.

Israeli innovation impacts people around the world every day in areas such as cybersecurity, fintech and agriculture.
