The Shin Bet security service tells the Jerusalem District Court that there is no impediment to publicly disclosing details on the scope of work done by Sara Netanyahu, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s wife, for the Jerusalem municipality.
The court is ruling on a freedom of information request submitted by an organization. The request covers the period when Netanyahu was head of the opposition in 2021 and 2022.
Lawyers for Sara Netanyahu, who works as an educational psychologist for the city, argued that as she was protected by the Shin Bet, these details could not be released.
Similar appeals in the past have forced the city to publish details on her employment.
