NewzIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Wednesday that he intends to sue the Israeli newspaper Haaretz and seek a criminal investigation against it. The legal action comes in response to a report published by the outlet claiming that UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed had warned Netanyahu regarding the events of October 7.
Netanyahu strongly dismissed the report, characterizing the allegations as a 'sinister libel'. The planned lawsuit and call for a criminal probe mark a sharp escalation in the ongoing tensions between the Israeli leader and domestic media regarding intelligence and warning accounts surrounding the October 7 attacks.
