Police have summoned Channel 13 News legal correspondent Aviad Glickman for interrogation, after the reporter appeared to shove one of Sara Netanyahu’s associates during a libel hearing in May, Hebrew outlets report.
Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara has allowed police to investigate Glickman, but did not officially approve the questioning, Ynet reports.
Glickman’s interrogation is set to take place in the coming days, Hebrew-language media reports.
Gal Dabush, an employee of the premier’s wife, filed a complaint over the incident, which occurred as attendees of the hearing attempted to make their way out of the courtroom.
There was a bottleneck at the exit as Glickman and a number of other journalists apparently tried to film Netanyahu as she left the court.
The libel hearing was held after Netanyahu sued her ex-employee, Sylvia Genesia, who claimed to have been pressured to lie and defend the prime minister’s wife in a statement to police.
Glickman, whose reporting has been critical of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, had been previously summoned for questioning in July over the alleged shoving, but Baharav-Miara contacted police at the time, insisting they reconsider the move and first examine the incident’s context.
Police viewed Baharav-Miara’s request as a bid to exert political pressure on law enforcement, Channel 12 reports. Eventually, they decided to postpone the investigation until they discussed it officially with the attorney general.
אביעד גליקמן תקף אותי באלימות ודחף אותי בחוזקה ביציאה להפסקה בבית המשפט.
ביטחון בית המשפט היו עדים לאירוע האלים והוציא אותו.
אני הגשתי נגדו תלונה במשטרה. אני לא אשתוק מול האלימות של גליקמן. מבטיחה לעדכן.
מה עוד תעשה להם השנאה כלפי משפחת נתניהו?
