Opposition leader Yair Lapid sent a pre-lawsuit warning letter to Channel 14 on Thursday evening, after the channel reportedly claimed he 'helps Nazis,' according to Israeli media. The letter was sent via legal counsel, threatening a defamation suit over the remarks made on the network. The full report was published by ynet. The move is part of a broader pattern of legal threats between Israeli politicians and media outlets.
