כתב הארץ תבע את יאיר נתניהו והליכוד ב-314 אלף ש"ח – והפסיד

הערכה

The Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court dismissed a substantial defamation suit from journalist Yossi Klein against Likud and Yair Netanyahu, ruling the party's publication was protected opinion within public debate. Notably, the court acknowledged a quote attributed to Klein was distorted by someone else, yet still shielded Likud from liability. The decision sharpens the line between protected political speech and actionable incitement, and an appeal appears plausible given the stakes.
