Former Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar has filed a NIS 3 million defamation lawsuit against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the Central District Court. The lawsuit was filed on Wednesday, following a tweet by Netanyahu that accused Bar of "failures and crimes." Netanyahu alleged that Bar "knew of a real danger" prior to the October 7th attacks but "decided not to call and update the Prime Minister, not to warn the alert squads and IDF forces in the field, not to evacuate the Nova party, and only to send a limited Tequila team."
Bar stated after filing the suit, "I call on the Prime Minister not to hide behind a claim of immunity, in the absence of a state commission of inquiry, the truth will be revealed in court." He added, "A little light will dispel much darkness."
The lawsuit was filed without knowing if Netanyahu will claim immunity. Bar is seeking NIS 3 million in damages.
