Netanyahu will have to open his wallet and pay - because he refused to answer questions

March 10, 2022   

Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his family will have to pay former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert 3,500 NIS in expenses - as part of the lawsuit they are pursuing against him. Suffering from a medical problem? Maybe you deserve to receive 6,400 NIS each month This is what the court ruled today (Thursday). According to a report by journalist Aviad Glickman on Channel 13, Netanyahu, his wife Sara, and their son Yair Netanyahu will pay Olmert the costs of the hassle after they refused to answer the questions he asked them. The judge ruled that the Netanyahu family's refusal to answer Olmert's specific questions, claiming that it was "irrelevant," was done in violation of the judge's instructions. In addition, the judge set a new deadline to answer the questions, and ruled that the Netanyahu family would answer the questions they were required to answer by March 15. As you may recall, the defamation trial filed by the Netanyahu family against Ehud Olmert began two months ago in the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court - for calling the family members "mentally ill who need treatment" on several occasions. The Netanyahu family is demanding compensation from Olmert in the amount of 837,000 shekels.
