News 12 journalist Ilan Lukacs has reached a compromise agreement with Avner Netanyahu, the prime minister's son, according to which Lukacs will publish an apology for claims he made, according to which Avner encouraged the assassins of Rabin's assassination.
Lukacs will pay Avner Netanyahu 12 and a half thousand shekels as compensation for libel.
About a month and a half ago, Lukacs tweeted: "Then Avner Netanyahu waved from the balcony to the protesters who praised Rabin's assassination and now there is a discussion about whether he heard what they were singing. It does not remind me of any event from the past."
Following the tweet, Avner Netanyahu sent a letter of warning to Lukacs through his lawyer, Michael Devorin, in which he denied the journalist's claim.
"My client, who lives in one of the apartments near the prime minister's residence, left at about eight o'clock in the evening to see protesters on behalf of the Likud party from the balcony of his apartment, some of whom he knows, and waved goodbye to them after one of them recognized him and shouted at him. "They arrived only about three hours later - around 11 at night. It is because my client did not wave to the demonstrators of La Familia, and did not go out to them at all, and this is a lie and a lie that you made up maliciously."
Devorin added: "My client does not support the path of La Familia and is not close to it, and certainly does not encourage and does not support the songs of praise for Yigal Amir."
He demanded that Lukacs remove the publication, apologize and compensate Avner with NIS 70,000.
The journalist later removed the tweet.

Following the compromise agreement, Lukacs posted the following message on Twitter today (Sunday): "The tweet I posted on 24.7 regarding Avner Netanyahu, from which it is implied that he applauded the songs of Hillel Ligal Amir, had no basis, and was deleted by me shortly after I realized he "Based on a mistake. I apologize to Avner Netanyahu and call on the sites that resonated with him to do as I did, and delete things. Only Avner's health."
Advocate Devorin told Walla! Tarbut: "We are happy that the case has come to an end without having to go to court, and we thank Mr Lukacs for taking responsibility for his mistake, apologizing and compensating my client."
Ilan Lukacs declined to comment.
