Media personality Ronen Tzor filed a defamation lawsuit of over NIS 2 million against journalist Avishai Grinzaig and i24 News, according to a report by Tuvia Yeglnik. The suit cites three publications, including a claim about a job interview question and tweets calling Tzor 'the most corrupt person in Israeli media' and alleging he defaults to lying. Grinzaig dismissed the suit as baseless, predicting it will end like a previous case between the two.
Media personality Ronen Tzor has filed a defamation lawsuit of over NIS 2 million against journalist Avishai Grinzaig and i24 News, according to a report by Tuvia Yeglnik. The suit stems from three publications: a report by Grinzaig about a question allegedly asked during a job interview at Tzor's office regarding Yehuda Meshi-Zahav; a tweet in which Grinzaig called Tzor 'the most corrupt person in Israeli media'; and another tweet claiming that at Tzor's, the default is to lie.
Tzor previously sued Grinzaig, and that case ended in a settlement agreement. Grinzaig responded to the new suit, saying: 'I'm surprised the lawsuit is only for NIS 2 million and not NIS 2 billion. This baseless suit will end exactly as the previous one did — in nothing. I wish Mr. Tzor a healthy summer and an enjoyable vacation.'
The Zioneer has not independently verified the details of the lawsuit or the response. The case is developing.
