Australian media personality Erin Molan to interview Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
The controversial leader is set to be interviewed by Australian media personality Erin Molan in a surprise move tomorrow.
The Israeli Prime Minister is set to be interviewed by Australian media personality Erin Molan.
Molan has built a platform for herself in recent years after she was let go from Sky News in November 2024.
She revealed at the time that the decision was due to “budget” restraints.
Molan, the daughter of late senator Jim Molan, announced on Instagram on Thursday that she would be interviewing controversial Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on The Erin Molan show at 7am local time on Friday.

Followers of Molan rushed to comment on the surprise move, with one saying: “That’s huge!!!!! Well done.”
“Good for you Erin!” one comment read.
However, some of her followers weren’t quite so pleased with the news.
“Erin, please don’t do this,” one commented.
Molan has been a staunch supporter of Israel over the last two years, regularly using her platform to claim that speaking against the state’s actions against Palestinians in Gaza is equivalent to anti-Semitism.
The move comes just days after Turkey issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and senior officials in his government over the war in Gaza.
Turkey has accused the officials of “genocide and crimes against humanity” that Israel has “perpetrated systematically” in Gaza.
In 2024, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants against Netanyahu and his former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant over alleged war crimes in Gaza.
The Rome Statute, a treaty that established the ICC, includes 124 nations with Australia among them.
It means in theory, under the statute, countries that are part of the ICC are legally bound to enforce its arrest warrants.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s government has stated it respects the ICC’s “important” and “independent” role in upholding international law, with Foreign Minister Penny Wong indicating Australia would “act consistently with its obligations under international law”.
However, Mr Albanese has avoided directly commenting on the Netanyahu arrest warrants, stating he “does not comment on court processes in Australia, let alone court processes globally to which Australia is not a party”.
Meanwhile, earlier this year, radio and TV presenter Molan, who said it would be a “privilege” to work for Donald Trump, addressed the fallout from losing her high-profile Sydney breakfast radio job on 2Day FM, as well as a TV role on Sky News Australia, and how it brought her to a personal reckoning.
“I started out in television at 21, and I’m now 41. I didn’t quite realise until I lost professionally every role that I had – from the start of (last) year til the end – how miserable I had been,” Molan told Something To Talk About.
“I was crippled by fear that entire time. It was only once I had lost everything, every job, that I realised that I was actually OK.
“I realised what I’d been terrified of, which was ‘if this doesn’t work out, if this doesn’t rate, if I get sacked’, then I’m nothing. I have no worth and value. People won’t like me, I won’t be able to get another job, (and) I will have failed. My fear of failure was so massive.”
