Labor MK Miki Rosenthal lied about Sara
Netanyahu mistreating workers in the Prime Minister’s Residence, MK Gila Gamliel
(Likud Beytenu) wrote in a complaint to the Knesset Ethics Committee Wednesday.
Earlier this week, Rosenthal said in a Knesset caucus meeting that Sara had told
a woman she would only be hired as a cook for the family if she promised not to
get married in the next three years. Rosenthal said the comment was illegal, and
called for the attorney-general to investigate.
The Prime Minister’s
Office denied the story, accusing Rosenthal of “joining the national sport,
baseless slandering of Mrs. Netanyahu in order to grab a
headline.”
Gamliel’s complaint quoted Rosenthal and the office’s
response, saying the Labor MK “cynically used his status and immunity, turning
the public discourse into an arena for anarchic mudslinging.”
