First Lady of Israel (Hebrew: הגברת הראשונה של מדינת ישראל) is the unofficial title of the wife of the president of Israel, whose formal title is simply Spouse of the President of Israel (Hebrew: בת הזוג של נשיא מדינת ישראל). The current first lady of Israel is Michal Herzog, wife of President Isaac Herzog.
History
There is no official role or office of the first lady of Israel, and the title "First Lady" was never adopted by the Ministerial Committee for Symbols and Ceremonies, although Reuven Rivlin's wife Nechama and Isaac Herzog's wife Michal were referred to as "First Lady" in English-language sources during their respective husbands' presidencies. In 2018, then–prime ministerial spouse Sara Netanyahu was introduced as "First Lady" when receiving US vice president Mike Pence, causing controversy.
