Yair Golan, leader of the Democratic Party, has filed a defamation and incitement lawsuit against Sara Netanyahu, demanding 2.55 million shekels in compensation. The lawsuit was submitted to the Central District Court in Lod.
The legal action stems from an interview Netanyahu gave on Channel 14, where she implied that Golan had prior knowledge of the October 7th events. Golan's suit alleges that Netanyahu's statements led to a significant increase in online incitement against him, reportedly a 450% rise, and prompted security warnings about potential threats.
As a result of the alleged incitement, Golan's security detail has been enhanced. Netanyahu has refused to apologize for her remarks, prompting Golan to pursue legal recourse.
