Former IDF Colonel Ronen Cohen, who previously chaired the advisory committee for personal security, has filed a NIS 500,000 defamation lawsuit against legal correspondent Aviad Glickman, Channel 13 (Reshet Media), and the newspaper Israel Hayom. The lawsuit, submitted to the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court, alleges that Glickman's reporting falsely attributed a deliberate delay in processing security recommendations for MK and former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot to political and extraneous motives.
Cohen's lawsuit sharply criticizes Glickman's journalistic conduct, stating that he has become a political activist driven by a pathological hatred for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and a desire to advance Netanyahu's political rivals. The suit claims the reporting damaged Cohen's reputation to promote a political agenda, suggesting Glickman used Cohen's good name manipulatively to attack the Prime Minister and promote Eisenkot.
Cohen asserts that he has no interest in Glickman's personal animosities or preferences and that Glickman has sacrificed his professional integrity to act as a political mouthpiece. The lawsuit was filed through attorney Dr. Assaf Darai.
