Yair Netanyahu, son of the Prime Minister, has filed a NIS 500,000 defamation lawsuit against protest activist Ami Dror. The lawsuit, filed through attorney Chor Uriel Nizri, focuses on approximately 30 publications that Netanyahu claims constitute a systematic and planned smear campaign intended to damage his reputation and public standing. In the lawsuit, Netanyahu details the publications and denies each one individually. Among the claims he refutes are allegations that he used physical violence against his father, slapped him in the face, and fled the country to evade a criminal investigation. Netanyahu asserts these are false and baseless accusations, mere rumors with no grounding in reality. The lawsuit also highlights various epithets Dror allegedly used, including "head of the snake," "racist," "psychopath," "crazy," and "disturbed," alongside accusations of "dark business dealings" and "secret funds." Dror also referred to the family as the "Israeli Ceaușescu family," referencing the executed Romanian dictator. The suit contends that Dror's publications aimed to create a public impression of corruption and authoritarianism within the family, exploiting their influence over state authorities. Netanyahu also vehemently denies claims that he regularly cursed the families of hostages or insulted IDF soldiers who guarded him in Miami, stating that hostage families have never angered him and he has never cursed IDF soldiers. Furthermore, he rejects the accusation that he operates a "poison machine," clarifying that he does not manage an organized system for disseminating improper messages.
