Sara Netanyahu's libel suit against media outlets cancelled; case against Telegram channel operator continues

In depth

At the Jerusalem Magistrates Court, a libel suit filed by Sara Netanyahu for 500,000 shekels against Channel 12, Kan 11 and journalist Omri Maniv was heard, following reports that she passed sensitive security information on the killing of Nasrallah and the Iranian strikes. Netanyahu denies the claims.

During the hearing, Netanyahu agreed to the judge's compromise proposal, and the suit against the media bodies was cancelled, subject to publication of the court ruling. The suit against Udi Mizrahi, the Telegram channel operator, will be heard separately. Mizrahi claimed he received the information through Netanyahu's childhood friend, and stated: "I have the conversation recorded."
