Netanyahu sues Haaretz over report he was forewarned of Hamas attack

Israeli PM Netanyahu announced a defamation lawsuit against Haaretz and journalist Shlomio Eldar over a report claiming he received prior warning of the Hamas attack. The lawsuit is a legal escalation in an ongoing dispute over accountability for the October 7 intelligence failure. The claim's veracity remains unverified, and the suit may be seen as an attempt to suppress critical reporting.
