Sara Netanyahu Files Counterclaim Against Former Aide Over Abuse Allegations

Sara Netanyahu has filed a counterclaim against Yechiel Oheb-Ami, who previously sued the Prime Minister's Office alleging workplace abuse by her. Oheb-Ami, a former cleaning worker who later served as an operational assistant in the Prime Minister's residence, accused Sara Netanyahu of daily verbal abuse including shouting, insults, and unreasonable demands. In response, Sara Netanyahu denies these claims, labeling them as "ugly and malicious lies" and accuses Oheb-Ami of defamation, breaching confidentiality agreements, and orchestrating a calculated revenge campaign after his dismissal.

According to Sara Netanyahu's legal team, Oheb-Ami's actions have caused her significant reputational, security, and personal harm. She asserts that he violated a confidentiality agreement and that his employment was brief and ended justifiably. The counterclaim further alleges that after being denied reinstatement, Oheb-Ami embarked on a deliberate and premeditated vendetta, including illegal documentation and recording of events to use against her.

Oheb-Ami's original lawsuit detailed a "very harsh and prolonged pattern of abuse" he endured daily, including verbal insults and unreasonable demands from Sara Netanyahu. The Prime Minister's residence has been the focal point of this dispute, which has attracted media attention. Sara Netanyahu's lawyer stated they will respond further once they receive the full lawsuit documents. This legal battle highlights ongoing tensions and accusations within the Prime Minister's household staff.
