On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu held a phone call with Labor Minister Yoav Ben Tzur, who is currently sitting shiva for his mother.
During the conversation, Ben Tzur offered words of support and encouragement to the Prime Minister. “You continue to succeed, we are all behind you, I know how difficult this is, but you have real divine assistance; otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to cope with anything,” he told Netanyahu.
In response, Netanyahu replied, “God is the most important party in the coalition.”
Mazal Ben Tzur, of blessed memory, passed away last week at the age of 91. She and her husband, Rabbi Shalom Ben Tzur—who died 17 years ago—made aliyah from Yemen in the late 1940s.
They first settled in Kfar Saba and later moved to Netanya, where they raised their family.
Mazal Ben Tzur was deeply proud of her son’s public service. When the current government was sworn in, she made a special trip to the Knesset to give Netanyahu her personal blessing.
