Channel 13 to Compensate Fired Anchor Amid Discrimination Claims
Israeli news channel "Hadashot 13" and former anchor Netali Shem Tov have reached a settlement agreement following a lawsuit filed by Shem Tov. Shem Tov, a member of the "Amcha Israel" party, had accused the network of breach of contract, workplace bullying based on her worldview, enforcing agendas, and wrongful termination.
The terms of the settlement, including the compensation amount, remain confidential under a legal gag order. Both parties agreed to keep the financial details private.
The "Amcha Israel" party welcomed the agreement, issuing a statement vowing to "stand firm against destructive phenomena that endanger Israeli society." The party added, "We will no longer allow the silencing of voices, the closing of mouths, and exclusion based on political grounds. The days when the right bowed its head are over. What was is not what will be."
