The chairman of the right-wing faction, MK Nir Orbach, issued a warning letter today (Thursday) before taking action against Arik Ben Shimon, the media adviser of the National Union and Bezalel Smutrich, over the distribution of Pike News.
In the status of the WhatsApp app, Ben Shimon shared Orbach’s past tweet, which was edited and changed so that he would falsely present Orbach’s statement about the Negev. “Abandon the Negev. Point.” However, the original tweet was written by Auerbach “Do not abandon the Negev. Point.”
The warning letter reads: “There is no and can not be any dispute that the publication in question is a forgery and editing of MK Auerbach’s publication, which was done intentionally and intentionally in order to harm Mr. Auerbach’s good name, and MK Auerbach’s soul was disrupted by the Pike News distribution. The malicious and venomous towards that which emerges from the publication distributed by you. ”

“If not, we will not be left with any choice but to appeal to such courts”
“You are required to remove the publication from all media in which it appears, to refrain from any further publication of this publication and / or the like in any media, and to publish a public apology in a separate message on all social media pages in your possession and in a manner acceptable to our client.”
If Ben Shimon does not do so, “our clients will be forced to apply to the law enforcement authorities for the purpose of stopping the forgery and deception, as well as to appeal to the courts for libel, publication of defamation and for defamation, including a claim for compensation without proof of damage in the amount of NIS 100,000. “Publication of defamation with intent to harm and thus in respect of damages caused and / or caused to our clients and / or that may be caused to them in the near and / or long term and / or damage to reputation and / or any other damage as a result of such publication.”
Ben Shimon is required to respond as required in the warning letter and notify Auerbach’s attorneys, by Sunday, January 16 ,22, at 12:00. “If not, we will not be left with any choice but to appeal to the courts as aforesaid.”
Ben-Shimon responded to MK Orbach’s lawsuit threats “I understand that Nir Auerbach is under pressure. Right. Is this statement I took from the network also Orbach’s original tweet? “My personal (which was automatically deleted after 24 hours and more before the letter of silence arrived) to which only a few of my contacts who bothered to review the status were exposed – so disturbing Nir Orbach”

“Nir has promised not to abandon the Negev and is loyal to his party’s values and is now breaking his promise”
Ben-Shimon adds in his response to MK Orbach “In retrospect I fully understand his position and even find Nir Orbach’s demand for a justifiable apology. This is not the case.
Keeping a promise to a voter is contrary to the path of his right-wing party, which has carved the false path and turned the breach of promises into a voter into a way of life. I understand the potential damage to the former Jewish House activist who is trying to prove his loyalty to the leader and the values of his new party.
“If, God forbid, it was understood from the photograph he collected from the Internet and presented in a status as if he had undertaken in advance to abandon the Negev and exist, I regret it.”
I apologize from the bottom of my heart and make it clear in a sharp and clear voice: Nir Orbach is a serial breaker of promises, flesh and blood from the bones of the right. If God forbid it was understood from the photo taken from the Internet and presented in status as if he had pledged to abandon the Negev and exists, I regret it and clarify – Nir promised not to abandon the Negev and he is loyal to his party values and now violates his promise. In practice, Mansour Abbas, to whom MK Nir Orbach is a member of the coalition.
In an attempt to repair the damage, God forbid, I take it upon myself in the coming year to give as wide an echo as possible to violate Nir Orbach’s promises both those who violated in the past and those who will violate to ensure that even the few supporters who may still remain in his party will understand. “It’s a lie on the right.”
At the end of his response, Ben Maon referred to the prosecution and wrote “and seriously. The MK’s attempt on all media platforms to intimidate me as a private person who expresses his protest in freedom is sad and mainly testifies to him and his and his party’s loss. I have no idea who the brilliant media adviser is. “I advised him to threaten me with a lawsuit to silence and expose to the general public a small status to which, as mentioned, some of my friends were exposed.
