SARA NETANYAHU SEEKS RECOGNITION AS ‘TERROR VICTIM’ OVER LAUNCHING OF FLARES AT

Sara Netanyahu, wife of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, attends a prayer for
the return of the Israeli hostages held by Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip,
at the Western Wall, March 21, 2024. (Chaim Goldberg/Flash90)

Sara Netanyahu submitted a request to Israeli authorities to be recognized as
the victim of a crime, specifically an attempted terror attack, after three
flares were fired at the Netanyahus’ private residence in Caesarea earlier this
month.

Nobody was harmed in the incident, no damage was caused to the house and neither
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nor his wife were home at the time.

Uriel Nizri, a family lawyer for the Netanyahus, nevertheless sent a letter to
the police and the Shin Bet security service saying that the premier’s wife had
been the target of “a severe terror event in which military explosives were
fired at her house, causing damage and a fire to be ignited at the scene.”




Victims of a crime are by law entitled to be asked by prosecutors for their
position regarding any plea bargain that might be proposed to those indicted
over the incident, and the punishment that they might be given by the court.
Crime victims are also entitled to financial benefits from the state.

Four suspects have been arrested over the incident, and a judge on Monday
ordered the extension of their remand.

In his letter on Sara Netanyahu’s behalf, Nizri wrote that the premier’s wife
was shocked to see media outlets downplaying the seriousness of the November 16
incident.

“This was an extremely serious event, which aided the enemy in a time of war and
harmed the security of the country… in the most serious of ways,” Nizri wrote.

He also noted that the incident took place close to the anniversary of former
prime minister Yitzhak Rabin’s assassination, claiming that it demonstrated the
suspects’ intention to physically harm Netanyahu.

Sara Netanyahu also filed a separate request to police for an attempted murder
investigation to be opened against the suspects.

Responding to the requests, attorneys for the suspects issued a joint statement
accusing the Netanyahu family of repeatedly playing the victim card and arguing
that the premier’s wife was trying to influence the investigation against their
clients, “even though it is clear that she was not at home at the time of the
incident and that our clients had no intention of harming her, any of her family
or their house.”

They added: “We will await the court’s decision on this matter and all that
remains for us is to wish Mrs. Netanyahu well.”

Investigators believe suspects who fired flares at the prime minister’s home in
Caesarea over the weekend carefully planned the act over the course of three
weeks, according to information cleared for publication by a court last week.

Rear Adm. (res.) Ofer Doron, who was named as one of the suspects, was
responsible for acquiring dozens of flares, which were expired leftover
equipment obtained by anti-government activists, a senior official in police’s
Lahav 433 major crimes unit told Channel 12.

Protesters have held near-weekly demonstrations outside the prime minister’s
Caesarea home since the government launched its controversial judicial overhaul
plan early last year. Since the war in Gaza erupted with Hamas’s October 7,
2023, massacre, activists have held demonstrations in the coastal city demanding
early elections, and calling on the government to strike a deal to free the
Israeli hostages held in Gaza and restore security to southern and northern
residents displaced by the war.

Sources close to the suspects were quoted by Channel 12 as saying that they had
aimed to hold a “closing ceremony” on the day of the incident for the series of
protests, noting that the Netanyahus had not spent time at the Caesarea
residence for several months.



Bridging the US-Israel divide

While the heart of The Times of Israel’s work takes place in Israel, so many of
Jerusalem’s actions are influenced by those in Washington’s halls of power. 

As ToI’s US bureau chief, I work to gain access to decision-makers in the United
States government so our readers can understand the US-Israel relationship
beyond the platitudes evident in public statements. 

I'm proud of our ability to inform without sensationalizing, our dedication to
be fast while ensuring accuracy, and our determination to present Israel's
entire, complex story. 

Your support through The Times of Israel Community helps us continue to keep
readers around the world properly informed about the critical Israel-US
relationship. Do you appreciate our news coverage? If so, please join the ToI
Community today.
