Yair Netanyahu, the son of former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is ordered to pay NIS 2,000 ($630) for failing to show up to court in a libel suit against him. The court date is postponed to January 27, and the judge warns Netanyahu that he must attend next time.
This is Netanyahu’s second time missing a court date in the case.
The case was filed by Dana Cassidy last year after Netanyahu posted her photo and details online, alleging that she had a romantic relationship with Defense Minister Benny Gantz. Cassidy said the post led to repeated online harassment against her by Likud supporters.
