Jerusalem (JTA) — The sex-
and-politics scandal sur-
rounding one of Israel's most
popular politicians, Ben-
jamin Netanyahu, continues
to captivate the country as
new details leak out about
the "other woman" in his
life.
The affair, already dubbed
"Bibi-gate" in splashy
newspaper headlines, com-
petes here for the day's top
news story with the political
crisis created by Israel's
deportation of Muslim fun-
damentalists.
The scandal broke more
than a week ago when Bibi,
as the American-educated
Knesset member is pop-
ularly known, went public
with an accusation that he
was being blackmailed.
Mr. Netanyahu claimed
that an anonymous person
had phoned his wife and
threatened that a secret
videotape showing him in
compromising cir-
cumstances with another
woman would be published if
he did not withdraw his can-
didacy for the leadership of
the opposition Likud bloc.
Mr. Netanyahu admitted
on Israeli television that he
had, indeed, been having an
extramarital affair with an-
other woman but had ended
it some months ago.
While such private scan-
dals are commonplace in
North America and Europe,
they are rare in Israel, and
this one has riveted the
Israeli public.
The big story over the
weekend broke when Israeli
newspapers identified the
"other woman" as a media
adviser hired by Mr.
Netanyahu to help him in
last year's Likud party
primary.
The country's newspapers
ran lengthy stories describ-
ing the romance between
Mr. Netanyahu and Ruth
Bar, the marketing and
media consultant. Ms. Bar's
husband, Petach Tikva eye
surgeon Shmuel Bar, has fil-
ed for divorce, publicly
fingering Mr. Netanyahu as
his wife's lover.
Israel's largest-circulation
daily newspaper, Yediot
Achronot, draped a
photograph of Ms. Bar over
much of its front page last
weekend.
According to Yediot, Dr.
Bar, 44, had suspected for
many months that his wife
was having an affair with
Mr. Netanyahu. However,
he decided to sue for divorce
only after he saw Bibi's
public confession on televi-
sion.
Despite the scandal — or
perhaps because of it — Mr.
Netanyahu's political stock
remains high.
A poll taken after the story
first broke showed that Mr.
Netanyahu would beat
Prime Minister Yitzhak
Rabin by 34 percent to 28
percent if direct elections
were held today.
The poll, conducted by the
Panorama firm and publish-
ed in the daily Ma'ariv, also
showed that Mr. Netanyahu
would win his party's
leadership in the Likud
primaries if the vote were
taken now. The primary is
scheduled to be held this
coming spring.
According to the projec-
tions, Mr. Netanyahu would
easily beat out his party
rivals, gaining 51 percent of
Mr. Netanyahu
admitted on
Israeli television
that he had been
having an affair.
N
the vote against 25 percent
for Ze'ev "Benny" Begin and
only 11 percent for former
Foreign Minister David
Levy.
More than three-quarters
of the 786 individuals polled
said they did not think Mr.
Netanyahu should quit the
primary race because of the
scandal.
Mr. Netanyahu has accus-
ed his rivals in the Likud
primary of trying to
blackmail him and his
lawyer has filed a complaint
against two aides of Mr.
Levy.
Both of these aides have
denied the accusations and
are now demanding that Mr.
Netanyahu withdraw from
the leadership race if he
cannot prove his charges.
In long and frank inter-
views to various media over
the weekend, Mr.
Netanyahu said he and his
third wife, Sarah, were fac-
ing a crisis in their marriage
as a result of the affair.
He insisted, however, that
