Azur planning to sue CanWest for slander Eli Azur is petitioning the Jerusalem District Court to declare him the owner of “The Jerusalem Post”.

Businessman Eli Azur last week petitioned the Jerusalem District Court to declare him the owner of “The Jerusalem Post”. Azur's claim states that he plans to sue CanWest Global Communications (NYSE: CWG; TSX: CGS) for damages, and that CanWest has slandered him, and damaged his business, property, and reputation.
Azur asserts that CanWest’s media campaign against Mirkaei Tikshoret Ltd., controlled by Azur, when “The Jerusalem Post” was acquired, and CanWest’s petition for arbitration and a temporary restraining order, have caused him a great deal of public damage. He alleges that his reputation has been tarnished, and doubt cast on his rights as a shareholder in “The Jerusalem Post”.
