Channel 13 host Raviv Drucker has won a defamation lawsuit against Channel 14 hosts Yotam Zimri and Noam Fathi, and former host Yaakov Bardugo. Drucker announced the victory on social media, noting it was a second win after an initial ruling ordered the defendants to pay NIS 180,000. The hosts appealed the initial decision, and Drucker appealed for a higher compensation amount. The District Court ruled that the hosts' appeal was rejected and Drucker's appeal was partially accepted, increasing the total compensation to NIS 285,000, which includes damages and expenses.
Drucker expressed his satisfaction with the outcome, stating that the hosts would now have to pay him an additional NIS 105,000. Previously, Drucker had sharply criticized Bardugo, comparing him to the lead anchor of North Korea's state television. Drucker had presented a video showing Channel 14 hosts praising Netanyahu, with the North Korean national anthem playing in the background, questioning if Channel 14 or North Korea's broadcasts were harder to distinguish.
