Bennett’s wife apologizes to far-right activist for saying he’s a Shin Bet agent

Yamina party leader Naftali Bennett’s wife has walked back her claim that far-right activist Itamar Ben Gvir is a former agent of the Shin Bet security service.

Ben Gvir, who ran unsuccessfully for the Knesset several times and frequently represents far-right suspects in criminal cases, had sued Gilat Bennett over the claim.

Besides apologizing to Ben Gvir, Bennett also agrees to donate money to support Israeli soldiers serving in the West Bank city of Hebron, according to a document submitted to the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court.
