The wife of Israel’s interior minister has apologised after sending a “racist” tweet about President Barack Obama that she claims was a joke.
Judy Shalom Nir Mozes sparked outrage after she tweeted on her official account saying: "Do u know what Obama Coffee is? Black and weak."
The comment was deleted from her account after people responded in Hebrew, saying "Have you gone mad," and "You'd better erase this...frighteningly racist."
Mrs Mozes sent a new tweet in which she said: "I apologise, that was a stupid joke somebody told me.”
