Roni Maane: "The Prime Minister Can't Stand Her. He Told Me She Is Crazy and He Has to Cover for Her"

Sara Netanyahu, the Prime Minister's wife, is once again at the center of a legal storm after a former operations worker at the residence filed a lawsuit in the Jerusalem Regional Labor Court against the Prime Minister's Office. The former employee is demanding 300,000 shekels in compensation.

The lawsuit raises a series of allegations regarding bullying by Sara Netanyahu during the employee's tenure, claims which the Prime Minister's Office rejects entirely. According to a report by Channel 12 News reporter Omri Maniv, the employee allegedly endured draconian cleaning rituals, daily humiliations, physical pushing, and demands for inhumane working hours.

Businessman Roni Maane, a critic of the Netanyahu family, addressed the testimony and presented serious allegations against the Prime Minister's wife: "Listen carefully, the guy is not lying, this is her pattern of behavior. 'Nana Banana' is routine for her, complete with a middle finger. If you saw the interview, the guy is saying what I write all the time — Bibi has no status in the house. She tells him what to say, who to be interviewed by, what to do, otherwise she throws things at him. I know he has a panic button. I suggest helping this guy with money and everything he needs to raise his son."

Maane was once a close associate of the couple but severed ties in 2009. He has since become a prominent critic of the family. On the social network X, he wrote: "It was deja vu for me; it just doesn't stop. Everything he said, I saw with my own eyes. The woman is crazy, and the Prime Minister doesn't love her; he can't stand her. He used to tell me that she is crazy and he has to cover for her in a big way. He felt shame and disgrace from her behavior."

Regarding the specific claims in the report, Maane noted: "If you listened to what he said about the cottage cheese, she would send Asher the driver from Caesarea to Balfour to pack a quarter of a box of cottage cheese. Regarding the apple, it's a disease for her. My driver once returned 25 kilometers back to her house because she forgot an apple. Everything he said is exactly what everyone who worked there went through."

In response, the Prime Minister's Office stated: "The Prime Minister's Office rejects entirely the baseless claims raised in the report. This is a domestic worker who worked for a short time and was fired after failing in his role. This is another attempt in a long-standing industry of extorting money from the state through empty smears. Only recently, Mrs. Netanyahu won in court against an employee who threw lies at her, and the judge forced the employee to pay compensation to Mrs. Netanyahu."

The office maintains the employee was fired through an orderly procedure for professional reasons, including poor performance and repeated mistakes. The claims were raised only after he was fired and his request to return to work was refused. The office is convinced the facts will be clarified during the legal process.
