Herzl and Merv Hagaj, the parents of late Sergeant Shir Hagaj who was murdered in the Armon HaNatziv terror attack, have filed a defamation lawsuit against former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett. The lawsuit stems from statements Bennett made during an interview on Channel 13, where he alleged that the Likud party paid activists to disrupt his speeches at Remembrance Day ceremonies. The parents contend that Bennett’s comments were directed at them and have damaged their reputation. The legal action comes just one week before the Israeli elections. They are seeking redress for the harm caused by the public accusations. This case is expected to draw significant attention given the sensitive nature of the claims and the timing ahead of the vote.
