Labor MK threatens to sue fellow lawmaker over harassment allegation
Labor MK Eitan Broshi sends a letter to fellow party lawmaker Shelly Yachimovich warning he’ll sue her for defamation if she doesn’t remove a Facebook post accusing him of sexual harassment when he was an army officer.
On Sunday, Yachimovich published the account of a former female soldier who said she was assaulted by Broshi when he was a battalion commander on her Facebook page.
The allegation was the latest against Broshi, who earlier this month sued Labor leader Avi Gabbay for referring to him as a “sex offender.”
Broshi has resisted calls to step down over the recent sexual harassment allegations, which came after he was forced to apologize for touching another Labor MK’s buttocks.
