ALBAWABA - Ami Dror, the former security chief for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, recently accused Sara Netanyahu of repeatedly stealing hotel towels and gifts.

Dror told Israeli newspaper Maariv that he personally witnessed towels and gifts disappearing while accompanying the Netanyahu family during official trips. He added during the podcast with Maariv, "I’ve said it before, and I stand by it. Sara Netanyahu is a kleptomaniac."

According to The Palestinian Chronical citing Israeli media, the former security chief also revealed that hotel staff would ask about the missing items after the family left.

Dror also claimed that Sara Netanyahu allegedly has a growing influence in the household, including political decisions. 

Other alleged accusations include Benjamin Netanyahu leaving restaurants without paying, promising the bill would be arranged later, only for a security team member to pay instead. Additionally, more reports indicate that Yair Netanyahu reportedly clashed with his father before being sent abroad. 

The former security chief, who now leads protests against Netanyahu, claimed that the Israeli Prime Minister would discreetly meet with his daughter Noa from his first marriage to avoid tensions or clashes with Sara Netanyahu.
