Lucy Aharish, Tsahi Halevy and their baby (screen capture: Channel 12)
Lucy Aharish, a prominent Arab Israeli media personality and outspoken critic of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, gave a heartfelt interview over the weekend in which she spoke candidly about her marriage to Israeli actor Tsahi Halevi (of “Fauda” fame), the recent birth of their first child, the difficulties of life in Israel as an interfaith couple, and the barrage of hateful comments they receive, mostly online.
Aharish and Halevi’s wedding in 2018 drew widespread condemnation from the Israeli right, with politicians weighing in and some ministers publicly berating them at the time.
