Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has instructed his lawyers to file legal action against the Haaretz newspaper, journalist Shlomi Eldar, and other unnamed individuals, according to Middle East Eye. The lawsuit follows a Haaretz report alleging that the United Arab Emirates had warned Israel of an imminent attack before the 7 October assault.
Netanyahu did not disclose the specific damages sought or provide details about which claims in the reporting he disputes. The legal threat represents a deepening rift between the prime minister and the news outlet over its coverage of events immediately preceding the war in Gaza.
