The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have made an unusual request to Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, expressing concern over potential prohibited election propaganda during a speech by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Prime Minister is scheduled to speak at the completion ceremony of an officers' course at Bahad 1 this week, just days before the upcoming elections.
The IDF's action follows inquiries from concerned citizens who are worried about Netanyahu potentially violating election laws, citing past instances of such violations by the Prime Minister. The military sought clear guidance from the Attorney General on how to handle the situation.
This development comes shortly after Gadi Eisenkot, a leading contender against Netanyahu and chairman of "Yishai," sent out fake draft notices to citizens as part of his election campaign, which also constitutes a violation of propaganda laws.
