State's witness Nir Hefetz said today (Sunday) that Sara Netanyahu is involved in appointments in the prime minister's close circle.
Hafetz, a former close relative of the family, testified at the hearing in the lawsuit filed by David Shimron against David Artzi.
Artzi, a former executive in the aerospace industry, published a video last year in which he describes how in 1999 he met with Shimron, Benjamin Netanyahu's cousin, and the latter He showed him a contract he made between the couple during his first term in office, apparently following the publicized disclosure of an extramarital affair conducted by Benjamin Netanyahu.
At the beginning of the discussion, Hefetz said that "I think my part is not in this place. I was certainly not a witness to the subject of the dispute. I do not want to be part of this saga related to the affairs of the Netanyahu family."
Later, he said in his testimony that "Sarah is involved in the appointments of Netanyahu's close circle. According to my personal experience, this is done at his initiative or at his request. The reasoning that Netanyahu gave is because she has sharp intuitions about people. And also because she has an intuition if the son can be trusted A person".
