Netanyahu called this group of approximately 500 graduates on Twitter “graduates of the Wexner Foundation! This pedophile cult has taken over the country,” while demanding to ban any of the graduates from serving in Israel’s civil service.
The lawsuit, filed in the Herzliya Magistrate’s Court. Currently, there are six separate defamation and libel lawsuits against Yair Netanyahu totaling NIS 3.14 million against the prime minister’s son, Yair Netanyahu.
