Revital Gantz threatens defamation lawsuit against right-wing activist over comical tweet?

January 5, 2020   

Revital Gantz, the wife of Blue and White Chairman MK Benny Gantz, is threatening to file a defamation lawsuit against right-wing activist Ran Carmi-Buzglo - following a false tweet he posted on his Twitter account. This was reported by Yedioth Ahronoth journalist Yuval Karni. Carmi-Buzglo tweeted in August: "Revital Gantz presented an ultimatum to my son - if you do not cut off all contact with Omer Yankelevich - I will return to the Machsom Watch patrols!!!" In a letter that Gantz sent today to the right-wing activist, through lawyer Eran Marinberg, it was stated: "A tweet was posted by you concerning my client. The publication raises fundamentally unfounded claims and false information against my client that has nothing to do with the truth, all to damage the good name of my client and indirectly even her husband, MK Benny Gantz.'' Attorney Marinberg demanded that Carmi Buzaglo: ''Remove the publication immediately, as well as inform everyone who shared it that the publication is false and immediately publish an apology for the publication, emphasizing the fact that the publication was fundamentally false.'' If Carmi Buzaglo does not comply with this demand, Revital Gantz has ordered her lawyer to "take all measures available to her by law, including contacting legal authorities." Ran Carmi Buzaglo responded in a tweet: "Terrifying!!! Ms. Revital Gantz is threatening to sue me for the ridiculous tweet!!!"'
