Wife of Israeli prime minister faces accusations of abusing household staff



Monday, August 10, 2026 - Sara Netanyahu, the wife of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is facing renewed accusations of verbally and physically mistreating household staff at the prime minister’s residence. 

A former employee has alleged that she yelled at, insulted and humiliated workers, with the latest claims reviving scrutiny over her treatment of staff. The allegations were reported by Israeli media and remain contested.

The latest accusations include claims by a former housekeeper who is suing Sara Netanyahu for $100,000. The former worker alleges that she shoved him against a wall and subjected him to degrading treatment. 

The allegations come after years of similar complaints involving employees at the Netanyahu residence. In 2016, an Israeli labor court awarded former caretaker Meni Naftali damages after finding that Sara Netanyahu had created a hostile working environment.

The renewed claims are putting fresh pressure on the prime minister’s family as public attention focuses on conduct inside the official residence. Netanyahu’s office has rejected the latest allegations, while Sara Netanyahu has faced similar accusations in the past. 

The current dispute could now move through legal proceedings, where evidence and testimony will determine which claims can be substantiated.
