Golan warns Sara Netanyahu of NIS 2.5m. lawsuit over 'serious defamation,' demands apology letter

The letter was sent after Sara Netanyahu suggested in a Channel 14 interview on Monday evening that the left-wing party leader had prior knowledge of the October 7 attack.

The party chairman Yair Golan sent a warning letter to Sara Netanyahu, wife of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, demanding a public apology within 24 hours for defamation or facing a NIS 2.5 million lawsuit. The letter alleged that Sara Netanyahu had made defamatory statements about him in a Channel 14 interview on Monday evening, suggesting he had prior knowledge of the October 7, 2023 attacks and was trying to rewrite the events to absolve Benjamin Netanyahu of responsibility.

Sara Netanyahu denied these claims, stating that she had only referred to Golan's actions on the day of the attacks.
