(“Partner” or the “Company”), a leading Israeli communications operator, announces that the Company received a lawsuit and a motion for the recognition of this lawsuit as a class action (the “Motion“), filed against Partner and one of its subsidiaries (together with the “Respondents“) in the Tel Aviv-Jaffa District Court on December 15, 2020.
