Sara Netanyahu defends absence from court in labor row

Sara Netanyahu, the wife of Prime Minister Benajmin Netanyahu, defends her absence from Jerusalem District Labor Court for a hearing over a lawsuit filed by a former employee at the Prime Minister's Residence.

"Mrs. Netanyahu respects the court. In discussions with her attorney, Yossi Cohen, she was explicitly told that she should not attend a hearing today and that she should only attend the next scheduled hearing," said a representative on her behalf.
