Netanyahu Sues Media Outlets for NIS 2.6 Million Over Alleged False Warnings
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is suing several media outlets for 2.6 million shekels (approximately $700,000 USD), alleging they fabricated warnings and disseminated lies to the public. The lawsuit claims these reports, often sourced from Palestinian or Qatari entities, constitute aiding enemy propaganda during wartime and aim to achieve a change in government at any cost.
Netanyahu's legal team asserts that these "commercial propaganda channels," allegedly collaborating with "enemies of Israel" and a "Kaplanist deep state," have repeatedly recycled falsehoods. The prime minister's office stated that the time has come for these outlets to pay for feeding the public lies, particularly citing an individual named Avi Avi as an example of the public misled by such reports.
The lawsuit contends that the media's actions are part of a strategy by Israel's enemies to spread blood libels through foreign publications and left-wing media. Netanyahu's suit aims to make these outlets feel the financial impact of their reporting, with the prime minister's office expressing hope for success in holding them accountable for substantial damages.
