The President of the Central Elections Committee for the 26th Knesset, Judge Noam Sohlberg, has ordered Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to remove a video from his personal social media accounts. The video, posted last week, showed Netanyahu at an Air Force base with a military aircraft in the background, and was deemed to contain campaign propaganda. Sohlberg ruled that Netanyahu could keep the video on the official accounts of the Prime Minister's Office and the Prime Minister himself.
The video in question was published by Netanyahu's office and addressed security issues. A lawyers' association filed a petition with the Elections Committee, arguing that the video violated election law. As a result of the ruling, Netanyahu and the Likud party were also ordered to pay 2,500 shekels to the petitioners to cover their expenses.
