Yair Netanyahu countersues think tank for defamation

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s son, Yair, files a lawsuit against a left-wing think tank for defamation and invasion of privacy, over a scathing Facebook post in August.

The younger Netanyahu is seeking NIS 130,000 ($37,000) in damages from Molad, saying its post entitled, “Five things you did not know about Yair Netanyahu,” crossed all red lines.

The suit comes in response to a claim filed by Molad seeking NIS 130,000 from Netanyahu, saying his public criticism of the organization amounted to libel.
