Rami Ben-Hamo filed a NIS 450,000 claim against the Prime Minister’s Office in the Jerusalem Regional Labor Court, alleging abusive treatment while working at the prime minister’s residence. He says he worked there for more than a decade, including as a directly employed housekeeper from March 2023 to December 2025, and regularly logged 60 to 80 monthly overtime hours. The complaint alleges daily shouting, humiliating demands and several occasions on which he remained at work after Shabbat began despite Sara Netanyahu knowing he is observant. Netanyahu denied the allegations, calling the report fake news and part of a witch hunt against the prime minister’s family.
