The Chairman of the Election Committee has ruled that a video featuring Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at an Air Force base contains election propaganda and must be partially removed. The video will be deleted from Netanyahu's private social media accounts but will remain accessible on his official government platforms.
The decision addresses concerns that the video, filmed at an Air Force base, crossed the line into campaigning, which is prohibited on military installations. While the full removal was not mandated, the partial deletion aims to balance the prohibition of electioneering on military property with the politician's right to use official channels.
The ruling comes amid heightened scrutiny of campaign activities during election periods, particularly concerning the use of state resources or facilities for political gain. The specifics of the video and the exact nature of the content deemed to be election propaganda were not detailed in the report.
