Liberman asks to use parliamentary immunity to dismiss libel suit filed by far-right lawyer

MK Avigdor Liberman has requested to use his parliamentary immunity to postpone a libel suit against him filed by far-right lawyer and Otzma Yehudit member Itamar Ben Gvir, the Kan public broadcaster reports.

In March, Ben Gvir filed a libel lawsuit against Liberman after the former defense minister alleged in a radio interview that the Otzma Yehudit Knesset hopeful could be an agent for the Shin Bet security service.
