The Yamina party, led by Gadi Eisenkot, has issued an ultimatum to the Likud party, demanding the immediate removal of billboards displayed in Arabic. Yamina claims these billboards, featuring Eisenkot's image alongside other political figures, are designed in their party's colors and could mislead the public. A warning letter sent to Likud's legal advisor by Yamina states that a response is required by 7:00 PM today, with all billboards to be removed by tomorrow morning.
The disputed billboards, placed in Jerusalem and other locations across Israel, reportedly use Arabic text and a design that Yamina asserts is identifiable with their party. Yamina alleges that Likud's branding appears only in Arabic, without clear Hebrew party identification, raising concerns that non-Arabic speakers might mistakenly believe the advertisements are from Yamina or have their consent.
Yamina argues that the Likud advertisements potentially violate election propaganda transparency and identification requirements, and constitute unfair harm to another party's campaign. The party is demanding Likud remove the signs and issue a prominent clarification, in Hebrew as well, stating the advertisements are from Likud.
