Sara Netanyahu Ordered to Pay Legal Fees in Yair Golan Defamation Case

Sara Netanyahu Ordered to Pay Legal Fees in Yair Golan Defamation Case

The District Court rejected Sara Netanyahu's bid to dismiss a defamation lawsuit filed by Democrats party chairman Yair Golan, ordering her to pay 2,000 shekels in legal costs. Golan's suit, seeking 2.55 million shekels, stems from his allegation that Netanyahu implied he had advance knowledge of the October 7 attack. The court ruled Netanyahu agreed to the public broadcast of her remarks, rejecting her defense. Golan stated the ruling showed truth would prevail over lies.
