According to the Israeli Yedioth Ahronot newspaper the assault dates back to a few weeks ago when a female employee complained to her director in the office about being sexually abused.
The woman was reportedly boiling with rage and burst into tears as she confessed the case.
Current employees in Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said they heard the director as responding to the victim by telling her: “You should not be here then. Take your luggage and go back home. I don’t want to see you here again. You’re fired!”
Following the verbal assault the victim sent a report to the judicial office in charge of feminist issues and reported cases of sexual abuse.
The victim was transferred to another department in the PMO after the judge ruled for restoring her post.
A probe is expected to be launched into the accusations in due course according to sources from Netanyahu’s office.
