Irit Linur

Her first full-length novel was The Siren's Song, a best-selling romantic comedy set on the background of the Scud missile attacks on Tel Aviv during the Gulf War in 1991.

"[3] In April 2019, Linur apologized on the air after she and her co-host insinuated that a journalist's wife, a public attorney, was the source behind his news reports concerning PM Netanyahu's investigations.

[citation needed] In May 2019, referring to a protest that featured both Jewish and Muslim speakers, including Israeli Arab politician, MK Ayman Odeh, Linur commented on the air that the protest would have been better off, had Odeh been replaced by two gas station workers as the representatives of the Israeli Arab public.

[citation needed] In February 2022, speaking on the radio show "The Final Word," Linur referred to Reform Judaism as "an esoteric religious fringe movement that is unimportant, nonexistent, unpopular and unaccepted," comparing the Reform movement to Lev Tahor, an extremist Jewish sect.

[4] In response, a group of 150 Israel Defense Forces reserve officers, who were members of Reform congregations, sent a letter to then-Defense Minister Benny Gantz demanding Linur's dismissal if she refused to apologize.
