Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gideon Saar have instructed the launch of a defamation lawsuit against the New York Times.
This action comes after the newspaper recently published an article alleging widespread sexual violence by Israeli prison guards and soldiers against Palestinian prisoners.
In a statement, Israel's Foreign Ministry called the article "one of the most ugly and distorted lies ever published against the State of Israel in the modern press."
The Times investigation, published Monday, is based on testimony collected in the Israeli-occupied West Bank from 14 men and women who said they were sexually assaulted by settlers or Israeli soldiers.
Former Palestinian prisoners have previously spoken about experiencing sexual violence in Israeli detention, including to Al Jazeera.
