Minister Nir Barkat launched a large-scale media and billboard campaign Thursday, calling on citizens and IDF soldiers who say they were harmed by Channel 12 to apply for legal assistance from the 'Defamation Fund 12' he established against the network.
Minister Nir Barkat has launched a media and billboard campaign to promote the defamation fund he established against Channel 12. The campaign invites citizens and IDF soldiers who claim to have been harmed by the network's reporting to apply for legal assistance through the dedicated website, 'Defamation Fund 12.'
Barkat has been engaged in a public legal battle with Channel 12 over what he describes as biased and harmful reporting. As The Zioneer has reported, Barkat previously established a defamation fund and sent warning letters to the network, and a court earlier dismissed one of his defamation suits. The new campaign aims to expand the fund's reach by encouraging affected individuals to seek legal recourse.
