Channel 13 to Pay Compensation to Netael Shamtov in Settlement
Channel 13 has reached a settlement agreement with Netael Shamtov, a member of the 'Am Yisrael' party, in a lawsuit she filed against the news company. Shamtov had sued Channel 13 for breach of contract, harassment based on worldview, imposition of agendas, and wrongful termination.
As part of the agreement, Channel 13 will pay Shamtov an undisclosed sum of money. The terms of the settlement, including the compensation amount, are subject to a legal confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement.
The 'Am Yisrael' party released a statement following the settlement, declaring their commitment to opposing "destructive phenomena that endanger Israeli society." The party vowed to prevent "silencing voices, closing mouths, and exclusion based on political grounds," adding, "The days when the right bowed its head are over. What was is not what will be."
