Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that he will sue a newspaper, the journalist who authored a news article, and "other entities." The lawsuit comes following a news story published before the Hamas attacks on October 7.
According to the article, the news in question claimed that Netanyahu had spoken with the president of the United Arab Emirates. Netanyahu categorically denies this claim, stating that he did not have any conversation with the UAE president between early September and October 7.
The Israeli prime minister classified the news article as "malicious slander," suggesting that the publication was made with the intent to damage his reputation or ongoing diplomatic efforts.
The article does not specify which newspaper or journalist is targeted by the lawsuit, nor does it provide further details about the specific dates of the alleged conversations or the content of the original news story.
