Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s wife Sara has been facing accusations of yelling at, insulting and mistreating household staff at the premier’s residence for more than 25 years, Anadolu reports.
The daily Yedioth Ahronoth said it examined dozens of testimonies and lawsuits involving former employees, with accusations ranging from verbal abuse and humiliation to excessive work demands.
Some of the accusations resulted in court rulings awarding compensation, while others were settled or dismissed. Sara Netanyahu and her lawyers have repeatedly denied the allegations, describing them as part of “a media campaign” and attempts to extract money from the state.
Among the latest allegations was a complaint by Yehiel Ohav Ami, 61, who worked at the prime minister’s residence over the past year. He confirmed that he was “subjected to yelling, insults and humiliation and was once ordered to clean the kitchen floor while crawling.”
He also said that Sara Netanyahu wished him cancer and death and, after claiming that he had autism, told him: “I am the No. 1 psychiatrist in the country, and I have no competition.”
