Peleg threatened to sue Yair Netanyahu for calling him 'Dumbo' - and tore up the network

July 13, 2019   

Prime Minister Yair Netanyahu's son tweeted on his Twitter account that News 12 legal reporter Guy Peleg "continues to spread poison and fake news." Netanyahu Jr. wrote: "Instead of apologizing and resigning in shame for the fake news he broadcast about the helicopter this week, Guy Peleg (Dumbo) continues to spread poison and fake news tonight. The propaganda channel 12 is backing this clown, and along the way is lowering the public's trust in this propaganda channel to the lowest point." Guy Peleg responded to Yair Netanyahu on his Twitter account: "Listen, sweetie, if I published a fake, be a man and sue me. You know how to sue when you want. Second, if you call me Dumbo one more time, I guarantee you will get sued.".

Listen, sweetie, if I posted a fake, be a man and sue me. You know how to sue when you want to. Second, if you call me Dumbo again, I guarantee you'll get sued.

Yair Netanyahu responded to him: "Come on, be a man and say something about Judge Rosen's accusations against your master, State Attorney Shai Nitzan, and his friend Danino, and the whitewashing of accusations against him for alleged things that put Katsav in prison. You claim that you are not the prosecutor's office's spokesman, right? Come on, these are your orders." Peleg's threat drew dozens of comments and memes on Twitter:
