Appointment of David Zini: Opposition from left-wing circles to the appointment of the next head of the Shin Bet is heating up - this time when a video was uploaded to the Instagram page of a media channel - a video in which Naomi Zini, the wife of the retired major general, is supposedly seen.
But Friday Friedman, a Channel 14 journalist, revealed on his X page that the photo of "Naomi Zini" is actually a photo of stand-up comedian Hanna Cohen Aluro.
Friedman added a stinging note to the revelation: "These are two religious women with headscarves.".
This is not the wife of Major General Zini. This is the stand-up comedian Hanna Cohen Aluro. Although these are two religious women with headscarves. pic.twitter.com/nd5nHyseMj

Cohen Aluro's response was not long in coming, via a video she posted on social media: "Suddenly a woman wakes up in the morning and discovers that she is the wife of the head of the Shin Bet.".
""What a hoax," said the stand-up comedian, "Poor real Naomi Zini – who is both tall and thin, and look at what slander they did to her – they brought me to her.".
She continued: "If leftists feel like getting hot-headed and angry about all the brazen nationalist religious people who want to take over the world and are messianics, they can just scroll down and say, 'Hey, here's a chick with a headscarf, she'll be the wife of the head of the Shin Bet.'".
