"Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Lucy Turnbull has promised to help remedy animal cruelty in Australia’s live sheep trade, after she contacted his wife in response to a personal appeal.
Sara Netanyahu last week put up a video following the 60 Minutes pictures, shot by a whistleblower crewman, of an August consignment by Emanuel Exports in which 2400 sheep died. She indicated she was contacting Mrs Turnbull, saying they were friends.
Her husband posted remarks on Facebook, saying “the video of my wife Sara on the suffering of animals, created waves in Israel and abroad and reached all the way to Australia. Her friend - the wife of the Australian Prime Minister - Lucy Turnbull called my wife and promised to help and remedy the wrongs."
