The wife of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu attempted to enter a plane’s cockpit in a fury after
the pilot failed to welcome her in a loudspeaker announcement, reports say.

Sara Netanyahu, who admitted earlier this year to misusing public funds, left her seat and angrily
demanded to see the pilot, but was stopped by security guards on Sunday’s flight to Ukraine, Channel 12
reported.

Following the incident, the captain reportedly made another loudspeaker announcement to welcome the
60-year-old, who is accompanying her husband on a trip to Kiev.
