The Prime Minister's Office issued a clarification regarding the departure of spokesman Dr. Omer Dostri from his position, stating that "the Prime Minister's wife, Mrs. Sara Netanyahu, is not connected in any way to the termination of Omer Dostri's work in the Prime Minister's Office." According to the office, "The decision to end his employment was made in coordination between the Prime Minister, the Chief of Staff and Dostri. The media is quick to turn Mrs. Netanyahu into their punching bag whenever possible. This distorts reality and misleads the public. As stated, Mrs. Netanyahu had no connection to Dostri's employment nor to the end of his position."
