Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Fox News that, in his opinion, The New York Times defamed Israel with its misleading coverage of the Gaza war and that he is exploring ways to file a suit against the publication.

“The New York Times should be sued,” Netanyahu told Bill Hemmer of Fox News on Thursday, and said, “I am actually looking into whether a country can sue The New York Times … I think it’s such clear defamation.”

Netanyahu was referring to a July 24 cover story featuring an “emaciated” 18-month-old named Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq.
