A court of appeals rejected the challenge by left-wing activist and Yair Golan adviser Nahmani against the libel ruling in favor of journalist Amit Segal. The NIS 145,000 payment stands. Segal signaled he will pursue similar cases against other media figures.
A Jerusalem district court has rejected the appeal of left-wing activist Nahmani, an adviser to former MK Yair Golan, in the libel case brought against him by Channel 12 journalist Amit Segal. The ruling upholds the original NIS 145,000 damages award to Segal. The case stems from social media posts by Nahmani that the court found defamatory. Following the decision, Segal posted that his next targets would be journalists Paula Rosenberg, Hila Raveh, and Moshe Rudman, naming them as subjects for similar defamation suits. The case has drawn attention in Israeli media as part of a broader trend of public figures using libel law to challenge online speech. The legal process is ongoing and no further appeals have been filed to date.
