Netanyahu's Son Ordered to Compensate Woman Accused of Affair with Father's Rival

Yair Netanyahu, the son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has been ordered by a court to pay over $34,000 in compensation and $6,000 in legal costs to Dana Cassidy, a woman who sued him for defamation. Yair Netanyahu had insinuated on social media that Cassidy was having an affair with his father's political opponent, Benny Gantz. The court ruled that Yair's unsubstantiated statements could humiliate Cassidy and make her a target of hatred. Yair Netanyahu has a history of posting incendiary messages on social media and has been involved in previous defamation cases.
