Netanyahu Vows Defamation Suit Against the New York Times Over ‘Rape of Palestinians’ Piece
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to sue The New York Times for defamation over Nicholas Kristof’s op-ed entitled “The Silence That Meets the Rape of Palestinians,” according to the Israel Foreign Ministry.
“Following the publication by Nicholas Kristof in The New York Times of one of the most hideous and distorted lies ever published against the State of Israel in the modern press, which also received the backing of the newspaper, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar have instructed the initiation of a defamation lawsuit against The New York Times,” the ministry wrote on X on Thursday.
The update comes after the paper has already twice defended Kristof’s piece, calling it both “deeply reported” and “extensively fact-checked.”
