Aharon Haliva's ex-wife clashes with Channel 12 reporter online

In depth

Shira Margalit, the ex-wife of Aharon Haliva, attacked Omri Maniv, a Channel 12 reporter, on X after he revealed that Haliva received a gift from Qatar's foreign relations official with IDF approval. The exchange between the two deteriorated into personal insults. Margalit came to the defense of senior IDF officers who received gifts from Qatari officials, and argued that the way the matter was presented in the investigation was misleading.

In his response, Maniv also mentioned the gifts received by her ex-husband, and the exchange took a personal turn. He attacked Margalit's involvement in the series "Enemies" and linked her activity to her relationship with her ex-husband and the father of her children, former Aman chief Aharon Haliva.

Margalit responded to the Channel 12 reporter's claims about her involvement in the series, telling him: "The law will probably decide the matter of your big mouth." The exchange of accusations and insults between the two continued, with Margalit calling the reporter "stupid" and "privileged" during the confrontation.
