Israeli PM says mounting scandals are designed to harm country’s leadership in middle of war
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed on Sunday that his office was the target of an “organised witch hunt”, amid brewing scandals relating to leaks of classified documents and an alleged attempt to blackmail a military official. In a statement, Netanyahu said his office was facing a “wild and unbridled attack” from the media designed to “to harm the country’s leadership and weaken us in the middle of war”.
The letter from Braverman’s lawyers said that “not a word” of the report was true, and that it amounted to “‘fake news’ and serious slander, along with wild incitement during wartime”. Braverman also denied the allegations, describing them as “false” and “defamatory” and “aimed at harming me and the Prime Minister’s Office in the middle of a war”.
