Former Employee Alleges Abuse and Racism by Sara Netanyahu at Prime Minister's Residence

A former operations assistant in his 60s who worked at the Israeli Prime Minister's residence until recently has filed a lawsuit accusing Sara Netanyahu, wife of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, of daily verbal abuse, physical assault, and racist treatment. The employee claims that although officially an operations worker, he spent most of his time serving Sara Netanyahu directly. According to the lawsuit, he endured constant shouting, insults, and humiliations, including being physically pushed and pinned against a wall by her.

The complaint details extreme cleaning rituals imposed by Sara Netanyahu, such as being forced to clean floors by crawling on them using only small wipes. One incident cited occurred earlier this year after the Prime Minister returned from a White House visit, when Sara Netanyahu brought five takeout food boxes from U.S. restaurants. The employee mistakenly placed the boxes in her kitchen instead of the lower kitchen, which allegedly triggered a furious outburst from her.

In addition to verbal and physical abuse, the lawsuit also raises allegations of racist treatment during his employment. The full report with all details is scheduled to air on the weekend news at 8:00 PM. The lawsuit was first reported by Channel 12 News on July 30, 2026.
