Like a bad custom that has turned into a habit, the Israeli public reacted with near indifference to the latest scandal to emerge from the prime minister’s residence. The Netanyahu family’s house manager has filed a personal lawsuit against the prime minister and his wife, claiming abusive and degrading treatment and mental anguish.

The accusations have provided a peek into the goings-on in the house on Jerusalem’s Balfour Street, from where the affairs of one of the most threatened countries in the world are run. And although this lawsuit is more bizarre and worrying than others filed against the family, Israelis don’t seem to be overly excited by the new affair, as though saying, “Nothing new here.”

Three days after the grave and embarrassing lawsuit was filed by the former house manager, Manny Naftali, on March 19 against Benjamin and Sara Netanyahu, the public debate hasn’t managed to rise above the level of gossip, voyeurism, humor and satire. This reflects the indifference of the public and the political arena, which no longer get excited about another employee of the couple who describes the wife of the prime minister as a vulgar, capricious and domineering woman who abuses her employees until they break down, resign or are fired. Most of them disappear from the scene, few decide to conduct a legal battle.

In the case of Naftali, his past as a combat soldier did not help him survive the demanding position in the Netanyahu home and he decided to leave after what appear to be 20 nightmarish months, according to the lawsuit. In recent months, Naftali conducted a mediation attempt with the Netanyahus, which failed. If the couple had been more generous with his severance pay, it’s safe to assume that the new Sara stories would have remained buried.
