She railed that her "blood has been spilled publicly" at an ongoing trial yesterday over her alleged abuse of the former caretaker at the premier's residence, just months after she was alleged to have pocketed public funds through bottle deposits.
"It's hard to be Sara Netanyahu with what they do to us, spilling blood," newspapers quoted her as saying.
In March, former caretaker Meni Naftali sued the prime minister's office and the Netanyahus for 650,000 shekels (USD 170,000, 150,000 euros) in compensation for alleged abuse, in a lawsuit that saw petty recriminations aired by both sides.
He said this included "uncontrolled tongue-lashings" from Sara Netanyahu.

In one incident, Naftali says the premier's wife rebuked him at 3:00 am one day for buying milk that was not in a carton, Ynet reported.
The caretaker also alleged he was not paid for overtime and that the premier's office reneged on a promise to give him a permanent job.
At yesterday's hearing in the case, Netanyahu accused Naftali of hitting her son's friends when they visited the residence, the Jerusalem Post reported.
The Netanyahus have dismissed the allegations as an attempt to sully their image.
Before Netanyahu's March reelection campaign, media reported that his wife had pocketed at least USD 1,000 worth of public cash by collecting the deposits on empty bottles returned from the official residence.
Her husband denied the allegations.
A report by the government watchdog also said Sara Netanyahu had called in an electrician for their private seaside residence home in northern Israel every weekend for three months, including on a public holiday when staff were off and unable to assess whether work was urgently needed.
