Court orders Ramat Gan mayor to pay political rival over misuse of security data

A district court ruled against Ramat Gan Mayor Carmel Shama Hacohen for using emergency updates and security information for political campaigning. Judge Naom Solberg ordered closure of WhatsApp groups mixing emergency alerts with election promotion and instructed the mayor to pay 18,000 shekels in legal costs to political rival Yoad Ailani. The judge criticised violations of previous court orders, suggesting sanctions should be tightened rather than relaxed.
