Yair Golan, chairman of the left-wing Democrats party, has filed a NIS 300,000 defamation lawsuit against designer Or Reichert, alleging that Reichert published images depicting him as a Hamas terrorist.
The lawsuit, submitted to the Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court, centers on “a series of graphic designs presenting Golan wearing a keffiyeh, as a Hamas terrorist, and as someone assisting the organization.”
“We are determined to dismantle the poison machine and will continue to fight it with full force,” Golan said in a statement, highlighting the personal and political stakes of the case.
The Democrats also noted Reichert’s prior work for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office, alleging that he was paid tens of thousands of shekels for video production.
“Those who poison the public discourse must know they will be held accountable,” the statement added.
