High Court Halts Likud's Use of Government Site for Voter Registration

By יהושע (ג'וש) בריינר
Translated & summarized from Haaretz by baba
The story · English

Israel's High Court of Justice has canceled a decision by the Elections Committee that would have allowed the Likud party to use a government website for voter registration for an event featuring Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The court ruled that the site could not be used without legal authorization.

The decision came after a petition was filed against the use of the government resource for political purposes. The court's intervention prevents the potential misuse of state infrastructure for partisan activities.

In separate news, the Israel Prison Service (IPS) released a video deemed humiliating of Agam Zarfati, who had petitioned against her detention conditions. The Water Authority is preparing for a potential continuation of the crisis at desalination facilities, which could last for weeks. Meanwhile, polls are reportedly causing concern for the "Gush Izankov" political bloc, with clarity expected after the holiday period regarding their electoral prospects.
