Bereaved Widow Suing Yediot Achronot for the ‘Exclusive Interview’ that Never Was


ftaAbout a year ago, there was a terror attack in the Hyper Kasher kosher supermarket in France, which claimed the lives of four people HY”D.

The four kedoshim in the attack were buried in Eretz Yisrael.

Following the attack, Yediot Yerushalayim published an interview with bereaved wife Mrs. Eva Sandler, who husband Rav Yonatan (30) and their children Gabriel Yissocher (4) and Aryeh (6) were murdered in a terror attack at the Ohr HaTorah School in Toulouse in 2012. Also murdered in that attack was Miriam Monsonego (8).

Now, Mrs. Sandler has filed a lawsuit with Yediot Yerushalayim, which she alleges quotes her as if she was interviewed when this was not so. She insists the interview was fabricated as she never spoke to the paper. In actuality, she refused to be interviewed when asked. She refused other interviews as well, not wishing to speak with the media. She adds the article carried photos of her late husband and children against her will.

The Marker reports Mrs. Sandler is filed a lawsuit in the amount of NIS 350,000 against the newspaper which billed it an “exclusive interview”.

The report carries a response from the newspaper, which states she spoke with the correspondent for a few minutes and the quotes were taken from that conversation while other quotes from interviews with Channel 1 days following the attack.
