Sylvie Genzia, a former employee at the Prime Minister's residence, has spoken out about her alleged experiences during her time working for Sara Netanyahu. Genzia, who recently won a legal case against Sara Netanyahu, described her time at the Balfour residence as "hell," contrasting it with her previous "good and happy life" managing a children's home. She detailed alleged instances of screaming, curses, and humiliation, stating she suffered from trauma and anxiety, and was sometimes unable to get out of bed at night.
Genzia recounted specific incidents, including being forced to clean carpets on her hands and knees with a small brush, and an alleged near-miss with a hot iron thrown by Sara Netanyahu over improperly ironed clothing. She also mentioned an instance where a coat hanger was thrown at her face, followed by Sara Netanyahu collapsing on the floor and screaming that she was dying because of Genzia. Genzia stated she cried all day during her employment.
She also shared that her car was damaged, and the police could not identify who was responsible. Genzia expressed that the experience has deeply affected her life and hopes the trauma will eventually pass. She thanked those who supported her, particularly her lawyer, Shaul Ida, who she noted worked on her case pro bono.
Genzia mentioned that Yair Netanyahu's behavior was different, stating she thanked him and cried after an interaction, implying a positive experience with him in contrast to her alleged treatment by his mother. She emphasized that she fought for her name and life, and was relieved when the judge understood she was speaking the truth and not engaging in libel.
