The lawsuit alleges that the employee, Rami Ben-Hamo, suffered "unacceptable" working conditions, as well as shouting, insults, derogatory nicknames, and humiliation at the hands of Sara "on a daily basis," demanding NIS 450,000 in compensation.   Ben-Hamo claims he fulfilled "every assignment" Sara gave him, resulting in up to 80 (https://www.jpost.com/business-and-innovation/banking-and-finance/article-901861) overtime hours each month, an amount beyond what his contract allowed for, N12 reported.  He noted that the treatment worsened towards the end of his employment, with Sara allegedly telling him that he is a "bad cleaner" who "doesn't know how to clean."  The employee further alleged that cleaning wipes were thrown on the ground next to him when he missed any dirt spots while cleaning, an issue Ben-Hamo faced due to vision problems.

Additional insults directed towards Ben-Hamo by Sara allegedly include "You destroyed my family" and "The prime minister and I don't like you," as well as reffering to him as a "primitive Moroccan," according to N12.  The lawsuit further alleges that the poor treatment continued following a heart attack suffered by Ben-Hamo, with the employee deciding to quit after a misunderstanding resulted in Sara throwing a bottle of soda on the floor.   According to N12, Ben-Hamo said aloud that he wanted God to "take me [him] away from this job," with Sara accusing him of having said "May God take her away," and Sara going so far as to inform Prime Minister (https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/politics-and-diplomacy/article-906476) Benjamin Netanyahu of the incident once he returned home that day.  Additional lawsuits filed against PMO by employees over Sara's behavior  Ben-Hamo's lawsuit is not the first filed by a PMO employee over Sara's treatment, with another employee receiving tens of thousands of shekels in compensation following a (https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-895779) settlement , KAN News reported on May 11.   The anonymous employee claimed that Sara humiliated and harassed her, including an alleged incident where Sara threw olives and tomatoes at the employee, causing damage to her clothing.
