Netanyahu's wife abused household staff, Israeli court finds.
Reuters ^ | 2/11/16

enjamin Netanyahu's wife Sara insulted and raged at household staff, creating an abusive working environment at the Israeli prime minister's official residence, a labor court ruled on Wednesday.

Allegations of mistreatment leveled by Meni Naftali, a former chief caretaker at the Jerusalem home, were dismissed by the Prime Minister's Office as "evil, skewed gossip" when the civil lawsuit was filed in 2014.

But the court, in its 40-page decision, said testimony by Naftali and other former household employees about Mrs Netanyahu's alleged abusive behavior toward them at the Jerusalem residence was credible.

Sara Netanyahu has elicited a multitude of headlines in the past over what family spokesmen have decried as an undeserved reputation for imperiousness, and it seemed unlikely the latest case could cause significant political damage to her husband, now in his fourth term as Israel's leader.

An earlier case, in 2010, in which a housekeeper accused her of being abusive, was settled out of court. A spokesman at the prime minister's office declined immediate comment on the labor court's verdict.

Naftali, who resigned in 2012 after a 20-month stint at the prime minister's residence, said he had been subjected to repeated scoldings by Mrs Netanyahu.

Power, or access to it, corrupts.

She was abusive and yelled at them? Sounds like Hillary.

Well, it looks like Sara has been eating quite well. So, I presume the food served by the household chefs was quite tasty.

In this case, who know where the truth lies.

My first thought too. Imagine also what the WH staff has had to endure with the First Mooch.

“could cause significant political damage to her husband”

I think that was the idea.

Mary Lincoln was no prize, either...

If she is deluded enough to believe see-thru is desirable on a frame like hers, then she would probably prove a handful to anyone saddled with a rational mind.

The poor man was scolded repeatedly? How devastating!

Off with her head!

Seems kind of petty considering the state of the world.

It was only 4 years ago today that General Aharon Davidi passed away. A great soldier of Israel.

I’d see her putting on airs and strutting like a peacock.
Oy, what a happy mood she’s in.
Screaming at the servants, day and night.

I wonder how much of this is true and how much is just a hit job on someone Obama hates.
