Yair Netanyahu, son of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, announced his intention to file a police complaint and a civil lawsuit against the "Amcha Israel" movement and Ofer Vinter. The action stems from the alleged unauthorized use of his photograph in the movement's political advertising campaign.
Netanyahu stated that the campaign, which features his image on billboards nationwide, constitutes incitement against him as a private citizen, especially given a reported Iranian assassination attempt against him two weeks prior. He expressed frustration with what he perceives as a biased decision-making process within the movement, contrasting it with figures like Liberman and Yair Golan.
The billboards also reportedly display images of Shlomo Zilber, Raviv Drucker, and Boaz Golan, a personality from Channel 14 and owner of News 04. The article mentions a dispute regarding a report by Vinter about potential resignations from his list, including Davidi Ben Zion.
Boaz Golan defended his reporting, asserting that it is fully supported by journalistic evidence and that Davidi Ben Zion is aware of this, while Ofer Vinter will learn it. Golan claimed that statements about members considering leaving his list, citing the list's precarious position, its risk to the right-wing bloc, and statements from members Yosef Haddad and Pler Hassan Nahum supporting a Palestinian state, are not falsehoods.
