Yair Netanyahu Threatens Legal Action Over New Political Campaign

A new billboard campaign launched by the Amcha Israel party has sparked a public confrontation between the party's chairman, Ofer Vinter, and Yair Netanyahu, son of the Prime Minister. The campaign, which appeared in Tel Aviv and other locations on Friday, features Netanyahu alongside other figures like Channel 13 commentator Raviv Drucker, under the slogan "They will not decide." According to the party, Netanyahu had previously posted that Vinter was deceiving right-wing voters and forming a government with Mansour Abbas and Yair Golan, calling it a "vicious propaganda campaign" against Amcha Israel.

In response to the billboards, Netanyahu stated, "Just two weeks ago it was published that there was an Iranian assassination attempt, and today you are launching a incitement campaign against me, a private citizen, with my picture on billboards across the country. I intend to file a lawsuit and a police complaint against you."

Meanwhile, Vinter described the political arena as "unfair" during a closed party meeting in Tel Aviv, comparing it to the battlefield. "Unlike the battlefield, the war here is not fair," he said. "They shoot you in the back, they soil, they defame, a campaign of tens of millions of shekels is being run against us. We knew it would be dirty when we entered."
