Yair Netanyahu requested that the state pay in his place compensation for which he was charged in a libel suit

Yair Netanyahu, the son of Prime Minister-designate Binyamin Netanyahu, asked the state to pay in his place approximately NIS 400,000 that was charged due to the failure to submit a statement of defense inA libel suit against him by Avi Alkalaiformer editor of the “Walla” website and a claim committee in case 4000. Netanyahu, who lived in a residence in Balfour when the claim was filed, claims that the people of the Prime Minister’s Office are responsible for the fact that he did not receive it – and therefore the state must pay the full original amount including attachment and interest.

Alkalai sued Yair Netanyahu three years ago for sharing a defamatory post published by another surfer, according to which he was planted by Karen Wexner, a police agent who should be arrested and a partner in the conspiracy against Benjamin Netanyahu.

The spokesman for Benjamin Netanyahu and his family, Ofer Golan, refused to comment. On behalf of Yair Netanyahu, it was stated: “He was ordered to pay hundreds of thousands of shekels due to negligence in the Prime Minister’s Office. It is based on a simple fact: no one in the Prime Minister’s Office claims to have handed him the indictment by hand, as required by law, and therefore he was denied his basic right to defend himself.” .

The attorney’s office stated: “Yair Netanyahu’s attorney has applied to the attorney’s office with a request to cover the amount of compensation that the court ruled against his client in the defamation suit. In the court’s decision, which was approved by the Supreme Court, it was determined that the lawsuit was properly served on him. In the coming days, the applicant’s attorney will be given an answer the state”.
