Sara Netanyahu, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s wife, is the most powerful
woman in Israel, according to a list published on Sunday by Forbes
Israel.
The magazine has issued a special edition for Passover rating the
50 strongest women in the country.
“She, indeed, doesn’t decide on taking
action against Iran, cutting the interest rate or reforming the real-estate
market,” Forbes Israel said. “Her influence is evident primarily in the
appointments made by the prime minister.”
The magazine quoted sources as
saying that Sarah Netanyahu was involved not only in appointments within the
Prime Minister’s Office, but also in other top positions serving the
state.
“She is involved at every level,” one source said.
“Even
low-level clerks.”
The following are the top 20 women in
Forbes Israel’s
list:
