Hadas Shtayf asks for donations after court ruling in Efi Naveh lawsuit

In depth

Journalist Hadas Shtayf appealed to the public today (Saturday) and asked for help with donations, after being ordered to pay damages to Efi Naveh, former chairman of the Israel Bar Association, in a lawsuit he filed against her and the state.

Almost eight years after the Naveh phone affair erupted, Shtayf posted on Facebook asking for help raising the money. According to her, she has lost all her savings.

Shtayf, who was ordered in the ruling to pay damages of several hundred thousand shekels, wrote that the state betrayed her. She claims she was convinced she was acting within the framework of her journalistic work, and that the state abandoned her in the legal battle.
