(Breitbart) May Golan, Minister for the Advancement of the Status of Women of Israel, said Saturday that she had approached former U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama to condemn attacks on Israeli women by Hamas on October 7 — and been met with complete silence.
Golan, a member of the ruling Likud party, spoke to host Erel Segal on Israel’s Channel 14, in the course of an interview about the broader failure of women’s rights organizations to condemn allegations of sexual violence against women during the terror attack.
The following exchange ensued (translated from Hebrew):
השרה מאי גולן נגד מישל אובמה: “שלחתי לה עדות אותנטית של זוועה, אנחנו יודעים שהפנייה התקבלה. היא לא בעמדה פוליטית, היא בהחלט יכולה להגיב – דום שתיקה ממנה”#ישראל_נלחמת@ErelSegal @GolanMay pic.twitter.com/2SvNwSzQeR
