Defamation

Not every hurtful statement is defamation, and not every publication justifies a proceeding. A general review looks at the content, the context, the channel and the possible defences under the law.

General information only, under Israeli law. Not legal advice and not a substitute for individual review.

Who this may be relevant for

May be relevant if you were harmed by a publication or are considering a legal response. This is not an opinion on a specific post, article or message.

What is reviewed at a general level

Keeping a record of the publication is important, but do not send sensitive third-party content through the form. Individual advice is given only after the material is reviewed on a suitable channel.

Points worth understanding first

Not every hurtful statement is a legal cause of action. A general review looks at content, context and channel. This is not an opinion on a specific post or article, and identifying content about others should not be sent through the form.

What to have ready for a call

Describe the type of publication and the general date. Do not paste names, screenshots or third-party details on the form.

Sources checked

The next step

Leave a name and phone number, or call. Do not paste identifying content about other people on the form.
