The chairman of Otzma Yehudit, MK Itamar Ben Gvir, filed a warning before a lawsuit against former Defense Minister Boogie Ya'alon.
Ben Gvir claims that he never called for the murder of Arabs.
Ben Gvir demands NIS 144,000 from Ya'alon and publishes an apology, otherwise he will file a defamation lawsuit against him.
The lawsuit is based on an interview in a Haaretz podcast published this month during which a segment was played with death cries for Arabs.
Immediately afterwards, according to the warning letter, Ben Gvir was accused by Ya'alon of seeing MK Ben Gvir calling death to the Arabs along with a group that followed him. A group that follows him, I first of all look at who is serving in the IDF.

And so it was written in a letter sent through Adv. Hamanel Dorfman representing MK Ben Gvir: "There is no doubt that the things you said towards my client are defamatory. That you heard my client shout "Death to the Arabs," and establish a policy of incitement. "
It was also written that "the things you published humiliated and embarrassed my client, damaged his good name and tarnished him for no reason, and all this with the intention of making him a target of hatred, ridicule and contempt in the eyes of many." A lot of damage and deep sadness. "
Chairman of Jewish Power MK Ben Gvir: "I have never called death to the Arabs, I do not believe it and even when after terrorist attacks there are those who shout this shout I silence him and say death only to terrorists.
Boogie's statement is part of a campaign of hatred and incitement against me on the left that is deliberately trying to blacken me and discredit me especially when they see how much love the people of Israel shower on me.
No more!
Whoever lies and defames will sue and pay in his own pocket. "
