Shino Zuarz, Chairman of the Association, has sent a pre-litigation notice to former Minister Issawi Frej, demanding NIS 1 million and an apology for alleged defamation. Zuarz's action stems from statements Frej made during a Sport 5 interview, which Zuarz claims constitute libel.
In the interview, Frej questioned budget oversight practices, stating, "When I say bribery, it has a thousand definitions. When a League A team says there is budget oversight, I submitted those things, those sponsors, the same municipality. A year earlier everything was approved, this year not. Isn't this electoral bribery?" Zuarz asserts these remarks were defamatory towards him.
Zuarz is demanding a correction, denial, and apology from Frej for his statements. If Frej does not comply within one week, Zuarz intends to file a formal lawsuit against him.
