Aug 31, 2023
Tel Aviv [Israel], August 31 (ANI/TPS): Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s son Yair Netanyahu lost a libel case and was ordered to pay 130,000 Shekels (about USD 35,000) in damages.
Dana Cassidy, an activist for Benny Gantz’s opposition Blue and White Party, sued Netanyahu for a post that he made on Facebook at the time of the 2020 elections. In the post, the younger Netanyahu implied that Cassidy was engaged in a romantic relationship with Gantz.
In his ruling, Judge Ronen Peleg said that some of things Yair Netanyahu wrote were, “truly shocking and extreme.” (ANI/TPS)
