Yair Golan, leader of the Democratic Party, has filed a defamation lawsuit against Sara Netanyahu, seeking 2.55 million shekels in damages. The lawsuit, submitted to the Central District Court in Lod, also accuses Netanyahu of inciting violence. The legal action stems from statements made on Channel 14, which allegedly implied Golan possessed prior knowledge of the October 7th events.
Golan's representatives stated that following the broadcast, security services detected credible threats against him, and online aggression and incitement increased by 450 percent. Consequently, his security detail had to be significantly enhanced due to the heightened risks.
The lawsuit highlights the seriousness of the public accusations being made as the country approaches new elections.
