A recording of Benjamin Netanyahu’s wife raging at an aide surfaced on Sunday creating a new headache for Israel’s embattled premier.
Sara Netanyahu is heard complaining that a gossip column about her did not mention her educational credentials.
She is heard yelling: “I am an ed-u-ca-ted woman! A psy-cho-lo-gist! B.A! M.A!” She is also heard screaming unintelligibly.
The 2009 recording was broadcast on the Walla news site and quickly aired by Israel’s leading TV stations.
Media reported that Sara Netanyahu was angered about a 44-word newspaper brief about her helping at a school fundraiser which did not mention her experience as a psychologist.
Sara Netanyahu has long been plagued by allegations of abusive behavior, squabbling with staff and meddling in state affairs.
The prime minister said on Facebook that the recordings are “part of a wild and violent witch hunt raging against my family.”
Earlier this month, a recording emerged of Netanyahu’s 26-year-old stay-at-home son Yair joyriding at taxpayer expense while out partying with his rich buddies.
The scandals come as police question the prime minister in two cases involving possible bribery, fraud and breach of trust.
Netanyahu denies any wrongdoing and says the allegations are part of a political witch hunt orchestrated by a hostile media.

Is Sara Netanyahu not allowed to be upset?
Did anyone hear te background of this?

Moderator- do u not have enough articles?
Okay, so she is completely unhinged. It must be tough living in the shadow of her husband.
Just who recorded the Prime Minister’s wife (apparently without her knowledge?) And what occurs to me is that others in politics may have been recorded, except those others may well have been subjected to blackmail in order to pervert the course of democracy, unlike the Netanyahus who just take a beating instead.
Further, it shows clearly why Netanyahu can only deal with a limited circle of close confidants instead of the public bureaucracy. Clearly the same mentality that would secretly record would also do so (to the extreme detriment if Israel), for example, in highly secret and sensitive submarine negotiations.
