The Chairman of the Central Elections Committee, Judge Noam Sohlberg, has ordered the Yishar! party to either label or remove a video that depicts Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seemingly speaking on the phone with Yahya Sinwar and congratulating him. The video was published by the party's chairman, Gadi Eisenkot.
The Likud party petitioned the Elections Committee following the video's release, arguing that it was created using digital means and therefore must be marked according to election law. Eisenkot stated that the claim 'only Benjamin Netanyahu knows how to provide security' collapsed three years ago.
Sohlberg issued an interim order, stating that the video appears to require labeling due to the use of digital tools in its creation or editing. He instructed the party to amend the video with the required marking or to remove it entirely. The order is temporary, and the committee has not yet issued a final decision on the Likud's petition.
