In an embarrassing lawsuit, Lillian, a former housekeeper employed by Mrs. Sara Netanyahu in the family’s Caesarea home has filed a suit against her, claiming she was deprived of basic employment benefits and abused during her employment. Lillian explains she is shomer shabbos, but nonetheless, was compelled to work on shabbos to keep her job.

The suit was filed in the Tel Aviv Labor Court, alleging she was not paid Bituach Leumi and other minimum amenities. Regarding the ‘abuse’, she was compelled to call her employer “Mrs. Sara Netanyahu” after Mr. Netanyahu became prime minister, she explains in the suit.

She alleges that Mrs. Netanyahu frequently abused her verbally, and “lost it” and shouted at her if she perceived her orders were not fulfilled to the letter of the law, including the need to change clothes frequently during the day, to ensure she wore different clothing when cleaning the kitchen, bathrooms and other areas of the home.
