Netanyahu flack on Sara flap: Allegations are absurd

A spokesperson for the prime minister’s family has lashed out at the media over its reporting on allegations surrounding Sara Netanyahu, saying the things she is accused of are small potatoes and “absurd.”

“What are we talking about? About food? About care for a few days for her father, who was laying on his deathbed and Mrs. Netanyahu paid for him from the [Prime Minister’s Residence] money?” Nir Hefetz asks rhetorically. “We know for sure that legal authorities know how to ignore the media blowing everything up, and it will come out that this is an absurdity that is nothing and even less than that.”
