The Attorney General, Gali Baharav-Miara, has instructed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech at the officers' course completion ceremony at Bahad 1 not be broadcast live, citing concerns of prohibited election propaganda. The decision followed an unusual request from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to the Attorney General after receiving calls from concerned citizens regarding Netanyahu's upcoming speech. The IDF approached the Attorney General for clarification due to Netanyahu's past violations of election laws. The Attorney General directed the Prime Minister's Office's legal counsel to review the speech in advance. This development occurs shortly after Gadi Eisenkot, a leading contender against Netanyahu and head of "Yashar," sent fake draft notices to citizens as part of an election campaign, which also constitutes a violation of propaganda laws.
