Sara Netanyahu at the Center of a New Scandal: 'You're on the Autism Spectrum'

A former employee of the Prime Minister's residence has filed a lawsuit seeking 300,000 shekels, accusing Sara Netanyahu of insults and humiliating demands. The authorities deny the allegations, calling them lies.

A former employee of the Israeli Prime Minister's residence, 61-year-old Yehiel Ohev Ami, has filed a lawsuit in the Jerusalem Regional Labor Court against the Prime Minister's Office, seeking compensation of 300,000 shekels. He claims he worked for about a year, starting as a cleaner and then taking on the role of operations worker, and was fired in February of this year on false charges, concealing that the decision was made at the behest of Sara Netanyahu. The lawsuit lists humiliating demands: bringing breakfast to the floor, wiping shoe soles, cleaning bags, taking out trash after checking its contents, washing the floor on his knees, and placing bags between suitcases. It also cites insults, including 'I hope you get cancer, you're autistic' and 'I diagnosed you, you're on the autism spectrum.' The Prime Minister's Office denies the allegations, calling them lies, and claims the dismissal was professional. Previously, Sara Netanyahu was found guilty in 2019 in a case involving food orders, paying about 55,000 shekels.
