“Complete lie:" Ben Gvir sues Gadi Eisenkot for NIS 100,000
Otzma Yehudit chairman demands compensation from Eisenkot over claims made on a podcast that Ben Gvir spreads violent messages on social media.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has initiated a NIS 100,000 defamation lawsuit against MK Gadi Eisenkot and his party. The legal action stems from remarks Eisenkot made on KAN News' podcast "How to Do Things." Ben-Gvir's attorney, Ze'ev Wolf, filed the lawsuit following Eisenkot's attribution of the dissemination of violent TikTok videos aimed at young people to Ben-Gvir.
These videos allegedly contained messages like "the only way is to kill" and "a good Arab is a dead Arab," along with others promoting force and bullying. In the lawsuit, Ben-Gvir asserts that he never published, promoted, or disseminated the videos with calls to kill or the statement "a good Arab is a dead Arab," and claims the allegation is entirely false.
Ben-Gvir seeks NIS 100,000 in damages from Eisenkot and his party without the need for proof of harm. Additionally, he requests the removal of the offending segment from all platforms under the party's control and a clear correction to the remarks.
