Representatives of Sara Netanyahu announce that they will appeal to the Jerusalem Labor Court over its decision to award Menny Naftali damages over claims of verbal and emotional abuse at the hands of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s wife.

Yesterday, the court awarded Naftali, NIS 170,000 compensation (about $43,735) for the years of mistreatment while working as caretaker of the Prime Minister’s residence. The court also ruled Naftali had been misled over his terms of employment at the residence.

Naftali had sued the state, the Netanyahus, and the deputy director of the Prime Minister’s Office for NIS 1 million ($258,000) in 2014.
