Netanyahu aides sue ex-PM Barak, journalist over claims of staged rally footage

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s aides are suing former prime minister Ehud Barak, journalist Uri Misgav, and Ravit Naor for libel over claims they staged fake footage and planted demonstrators in the rallies against the premier to create a provocation.

Ofer Golan and Topaz Luk are seeking NIS 420,000 in damages.

The two were filmed at Saturday night’s demonstration, manned with cameras. Luk was in violation of quarantine and earlier today was fined.
