Yair Netanyahu will have to pay a quarter of a million shekels to former Walla editor

Posted on Mar 1, 2020 by Ifi Reporter - Dan Bielski

Yair Netanyahu will have to pay a quarter of a million shekels to former Walla editor Avi Alkalay, according to the Tel Aviv District Court. Alkalai filed a libel suit against Netanyahu, the son, after sharing information on social networks as if Alkalay is planting the Wexner Fund within the Walla system and acting against his father, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The judgment against Netanyahu was issued after he did not file a defense, so he can apply to cancel the judgment if he proves that he did not file the defense for a justifiable reason.
Last night, Yair Netanyahu commented in his Twitter account about the decision to owe NIS 250,000 in compensation to Alkalai: "No, it's just unbelievable! Some journalist decided to turn me down. I did not file a defense! The automatic procedure is that if the defendant does not file a defense within a certain time, the plaintiff is automatically acquitted without proving anything. "
