Netanyahu sues Olmert for defamation
Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert faced in court former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is suing him for libel over saying that Netanyahu and his family members are "mentally ill."
Try to imagine former US President Barack Obama and his two daughters, former US President Donald Trump and his wife packed into a tiny Washington courtroom for a hearing on a defamation suit focused on Trump’s mental health and that of his family. That is exactly what happened in Tel Aviv on Jan. 10.
Packed into the small courtroom of Magistrate's Court Judge Yariv Amit were former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and his lawyers, and former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his wife Sara Netanyahu and their son Yair, along with their lawyer. The rest of the limited space was taken up by photographers and television news crews.
