Sara Netanyahu Ordered to Pay Legal Fees in Defamation Case

Sara Netanyahu Ordered to Pay Legal Fees in Defamation Case

The Jerusalem District Court rejected Sara Netanyahu's request to dismiss a defamation lawsuit filed by Yair Golan, ordering her to pay 2,000 shekels in legal fees. Golan sued after Netanyahu allegedly implied he had prior knowledge of the October 7th attack in a Channel 14 interview. The court ruled that Netanyahu consented to the public broadcast of her remarks, rejecting her defense that third parties were responsible for publication. Golan hailed the decision as proof that truth will prevail over lies.

Israeli Banks Eye Investment in Top Ad Agency Adler-Chomsky

Israeli Banks Eye Investment in Top Ad Agency Adler-Chomsky

Israeli banks Bank Leumi and Bank Discount are considering investments in the advertising agency Adler-Chomsky, potentially acquiring about 30% of the company for an estimated half-billion shekel valuation. Bank Leumi's potential investment raises concerns for its current advertising agency, McCann Tel Aviv, though assurances have been given that its account will not be affected. The deal could allow Adler-Chomsky's controlling shareholder, Eyal Chomsky, to sell a portion of his stake, potentially realizing around 100 million shekels. This move follows Adler-Chomsky's previous, less successful, public offering in 2007.
