Investigation into Sara Netanyahu's Alleged Misconduct
Israel's attorney general has opened an investigation into Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu's wife.
Sara Netanyahu appeared in a court in Jerusalem for the first hearing in the
fraud trial against her.
She's been called Israel's Marie Antoinette, and has famously been
accused of abusive behavior towards her household staff, which she both denies
and has twice paid out damages for.
When it comes to controversy and scandal, this is nothing new for the Netanyahu
family, and that's apparent today as a former
member of their own security detail
is accusing one of them of stealing something, and no,
it's not Palestinian land
this time.
Ami Dror, who personally led Netanyahu's security
detail, claims that Sara
Netanyahu would steal various hotel items and gifts on official state
trips. He recently appeared on a podcast where he
claims he personally witnessed
items go missing. He then states that such gifts legally belong to the
state,
not to the prime minister, and not to the prime minister's family.
Dror then went even further, calling Sara Netanyahu a kleptomaniac,
meaning that she steals just for the fun of it.
He alleged that sometimes hotel staff would question the security team about
missing property and items that were stolen from the hotel rooms.
The Netanyahu family has yet to respond to these accusations.
However, these claims are not without their merit,
as Sara Netanyahu time and time
again has faced scrutiny over alleged misuse of funds.
She's denied all wrongdoing, of course.
These new claims, however, add to the ongoing controversy
that surrounds the
Netanyahu family. We have Netanyahu, who will bomb buildings,
and we'll have his
wife who steals from them. And remember to please be aware,
if you're in a hotel
and your items go missing,
look out for that.
