Israel’s Civil Service Commission submitted a disciplinary complaint to the civil service disciplinary court in Jerusalem against Sarah Netanyahu’s Chief of Staff for publishing a series of inciteful posts since the beginning of the war.

The disciplinary complaint states that “At the beginning of the Swords of Iron War, the defendant shared offensive publications on her Facebook page in contravention of the prohibitions applicable to her, despite the instructions of her superior, in a manner which serves as statements unbecoming of a state worker.”

Among these were pictures of bodies in body bags before burial with the added text: “Nu, pedophile lover, Brothers in Arms, refusers of flying and enlistment, satisfied now,” aiming at organizations and citizens who protested the policy of the government.

Navon also shared a picture where Prime Minister Netanyahu is accused of the failure, writing that “we haven’t finished burying our dead and the traitors on the left continue the incitement.” She added that she seeks to report the page – in order to close it.

Navon also published a post accusing the organizations and civilians protesting the government for the results of the Hamas attack: “protest leaders: you won’t have cyber, you won’t have pilots. They threatened and they kept their word.”

“In her actions, the accused made serious and offensive statements which do not befit a civil servant, certainly not an employee of the Prime Minister’s Office, employed at the Prime Minister’s residence,” the disciplinary complaint read.”

“The defendant went particularly far in publishing these offensive and divisive publications in time of war, when the Israeli people are uniting to fight a bitter enemy, and the citizens of Israel enlisting to aid the war effort, the soldiers, the residents who were saved from the hell and lost all their property, in every possible way.”

Disciplinary court proceedings can result in punishments from reprimands to suspension, demotion, fines, or firings.
