Court Orders Citizen to Pay Benny Gantz NIS 40,000 for Defamation
A Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court has ruled that a citizen must pay Israeli lawmaker Benny Gantz 40,000 shekels in damages for defamation. The ruling stems from social media posts made by the defendant alleging Gantz's involvement in a treason plot. The court issued a default judgment against the individual, as they failed to submit a defense statement.
The lawsuit, filed by Gantz, accused the citizen of libel and slander. The court found that the posts constituted libel, causing damage to Gantz's reputation. The defendant's failure to respond to the lawsuit led to the court's decision to award the compensation.
