Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted on his Facebook page on Friday a video in which he claims to instruct his lawyers to file a libel suit against Blue and White leaders Benny Gantz, Yair Lapid and Moshe Ya’alon.

“Gantz, Lapid and Ya’alon calling me a ‘traitor’ is a severe incitement that must not be ignored,” Netanyahu wrote. “Their lies crossed a red line of the most sensitive issues relating to Israel’s security.”

Netanyahu claims to have instructed his lawyers to file a libel suit against the three Blue and White leaders.

The Prime Minister’s remarks come as a response to the comments made by Blue and White leaders on Wednesday regarding his role in the submarine scandal, in which Ya’alon even said that “The issue is so important that it could end up to have been betrayal.”
