The defamation lawsuit filed by MK Miki Zohar against the “Crime Minister” movement was rejected today (Thursday) by the Magistrate’s Court in Petah Tikva. Netanyahu. “The judge decided that he must now pay about NIS 15,000 to the defendants, the total expenses. In a conversation with Aryeh Eldad and Roni Bar-On, in their program on 103FM, he sharply criticized the court’s ruling.
In his opening remarks, he referred to the reasons for the verdict: “The judge made a very interesting argument. She actually said that the matter was a metaphorical statement in public discourse, and it actually gives them the ability to evade trial. I told the judge that if I told her she was a soldier in Esther Hayut’s crime organization. “That would mean, ‘I guess I’ll appeal it.”
MK Zohar stated: “This is not my story, and not Netanyahu’s. I think if there are no boundaries in the discourse this thing will get worse. I started legal proceedings against other entities, and everyone came to a compromise with me or went back on them. The court has a responsibility to set social norms. I believed with all my heart that the court would do it in the end. ”
Later in the interview, he referred to the terrorist attack in Be’er Sheva and the situation in the Negev: “I will tell you in the most practical way, without a little politics, okay? There is no government, and it does not matter if it is right or left that can function properly.
According to MK Zohar, the root of the problem is the presence of the RAAM party within the coalition: “The last thing that interests the members of the Islamic movement is what is good for the State of Israel and what is good for the future of the State of Israel, it just does not interest them.”
In response, the presenters replied that his party was the first to woo RAAM. Zohar replied: “I tell you this is another event and I am ready to strike on sin. After all, at no point did we plan to form a government with them and that is the truth. A government made up of party divisions is unable to move and promote anything and does not know how to take care of the state and this makes it difficult for many issues. “Unfortunately, the Rabbi of the State of Israel is going backwards in the coming years.”
