Israel's Central Elections Committee for the 26th Knesset has rejected two petitions seeking the removal of an artificial intelligence-generated video. The video, published by the Religious Zionism party, depicts Supreme Court President Justice Yitzhak Amit, Justice Dafna Barak-Erez, and Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara as protesters being removed by police. In the fabricated clip, the judges and the attorney general are shown carrying signs against Religious Zionism party leader Bezalel Smotrich.
The decision was announced Thursday by the committee's chairman, Justice Noam Sohlberg. The petitions were filed by the Bar Association and the Yashar party, led by Gadi Eisenkot.
The AI-generated video sparked significant controversy in Israel. Critics of the government condemned it as direct incitement against the Supreme Court justices and the attorney general, who were portrayed being dragged through the streets.
