Payout for worker who said Sara Netanyahu threw tomatoes and olives at her – reports |
An employment agency paid tens of thousands of shekels in compensation to a worker who said that Sara Netanyahu, the prime minister’s wife, threw tomatoes and olives at her and disparaged her on a number of occasions, Hebrew-language media reported Monday.
The compensation payout was made after the employee filed suit in the Jerusalem Labor Court against the state and the employment agency, claiming that the premier’s wife humiliated her on several occasions during her two years working in the Prime Minister’s Office cafeteria, the Kan public broadcaster reported.
According to the employee, referred to only by the Hebrew letter Shin, on one occasion she served breakfast to Sara Netanyahu and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the Prime Minister’s Office, but Sara was not satisfied with the salad, saying it had too much tomato, olive and onion.
The prime minister’s wife then threw pieces of tomatoes and olives at the employee.
According to Channel 12, which first reported the allegations last month, the premier was present as his wife threw the food.
The employee said that the food hit her in the chest area, soiling her clothes, and that she fled the room in tears before being comforted by her managers.
Shin also alleged that Sara Netanyahu shouted at her with the prime minister present and accused the employee of disliking the premier and seeking to harm the couple.
A confidential agreement was reportedly signed last week over the affair, with Shin receiving tens of thousands of shekels........
