Employee who said Sara Netanyahu hurled food at her is paid compensation in settlement

An employment agency paid tens of thousands of shekels in compensation to an employee of the Prime Minister’s Office who claimed that Sara Netanyahu threw tomatoes and olives at her, according to reports.

The compensation payout was made after the employee filed suit in the Jerusalem labor court against the state and the employment agency, claiming that the premier’s wife humiliated and disparaged her on several occasions during her two years working in the Prime Minister’s Office, Kan News reports.

According to the employee, referred to only by the Hebrew letter Shin, on one occasion, she served breakfast to Sara Netanyahu and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but Sara was not satisfied with the salad Shin had prepared and threw pieces of tomatoes and olives at the employee.

Shin also alleged that on another occasion, Sara Netanyahu shouted at her with the prime minister present and accused the employee of disliking the premier and seeking to harm the couple.

A confidential agreement was reportedly signed last week over the affair, with Shin receiving compensation amounting to tens of thousands of shekels in return for retracting the suit.
