From Yahoo Finance:
Judy Mozes, an Israeli talk-show host and the wife of the country’s Interior Minister, tweeted a racist joke about President Barack Obama on Sunday morning.
She then quickly deleted it and apologized.
Mozes, who is married Silvan Shalom, a Likud party member and currently vice prime minister and head of the Ministry of the Interior, tweeted a joke she said she heard that compared Obama's skin color to a weak cup of coffee.

Here it is:
She should not be so easily forgiven, especially since her "joke" comes only a few weeks after her husband's government fired tear gas, stun grenades and water cannons at a crowd of Ethiopian Jewish protesters. From AlJazeera, May 4, 2015:
Israeli riot police have fired stun grenades and water cannon on thousands of ethnic Ethiopian Jewish citizens in an attempt to clear one of the most violent protests in memory in the heart of Tel Aviv.
The protesters, Israeli Jews of Ethiopian origin, were demonstrating on Sunday against what they said was police racism and brutality after a video clip emerged last week showing policemen shoving and punching a black soldier.

Another reason not to forgive her is that she likely heard the joke from Bibi Netanyahu.
