Netanyahu's wife admits criminal wrongdoing in meals catering caseIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's wife, Sara, arrives in to the Magistrate Court, for a hearing on a plea deal over the misuse of state funds for meals, in Jerusalem June 16, 2019. Smiling broadly, Netanyahu faced a phalanx of cameras in the courthouse before the session got under way. While the deal lifts a legal cloud over Sara Netanyahu, it has no direct bearing on the prime minister’s own troubles - three corruption cases in which he has denied wrongdoing. In February, Israel’s attorney general said he intended to file fraud and bribery charges against Benjamin Netanyahu, pending a pre-trial hearing. Sara Netanyahu has elicited a multitude of headlines in the past over what family spokesmen have decried as an undeserved reputation for imperiousness.
