Netanyahu hails libel victory

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is hailing his libel victory, saying that “truth and justice won today.”

A court ordered journalist Igal Sarna to pay Netanyahu and his wife Sara NIS 100,000 over an article he wrote that alleged Sara Netanyahu forced her husband out of their car on the side of a road to berate him.

“Truth and justice won today against the never-ending persecution against me, my wife and my family that has been going on for more than 20 years,” he wrote on a Facebook post.

“If we were to sue every one who libels us we would be in court every single day,” he writes. “But I have a country to run.”
