Yair Golan Party Demands Netanyahu Remove Video by 7 PM or Face Legal Action
The Democratic Party, led by Yair Golan, has sent a legal warning to the Likud party demanding the immediate removal of a video posted by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on his X account. The party insists the video, which features a recording of Golan, must be taken down from all platforms by 7 PM on Sunday, threatening legal proceedings if the demand is not met.
The controversy centers on a clip where Golan, a former deputy chief of staff, states that including Ra'am party chairman Mansour Abbas in the next government would be "correct and appropriate." The Democratic Party alleges that the video misleadingly presents these remarks as if they were made during a "meeting of the change bloc leaders" held the previous evening. In reality, they claim, the recording is from a public interview Golan gave to Reshet Bet.
In their warning letter, the Democrats argue that the video's publication is intended to mislead the public and voters, and may constitute a violation of election propaganda regulations. This is an assertion by the party, not a legal determination regarding the video.
The party has set a deadline of 7 PM for the video's removal, stating that if it is not taken down, they will "take all legal measures available to us."
