A court orders the Netanyahu family to take the witness stand in its libel case against former prime minister Ehud Olmert, Channel 13 reports.
According to the report, members of the opposition leader’s family will be forced to testify in the case, in which Benjamin Netanyahu, his wife and son, Yair, are suing Olmert for questioning their sanity.
The judge in the libel case has also reportedly rejected a request from Netanyahu’s lawyers to toss out the list of witnesses summoned by Olmert, including the family’s personal doctor.
The next hearing is slated for June 12 in the Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court.
