The Chairman of the Central Election Committee, Noam Solberg, has ordered the Likud party to remove campaign signs that depict leaders of the "Change Bloc," including Izencoat, alongside Members of Knesset Abbas and Tibi. The directive, issued following a complaint by the "Yashar!" movement, mandates the removal of the signs by 3:30 PM.
Yashar! argued that the signs violate several election propaganda laws. Solberg ruled that the signage could create a misleading impression of a potential political connection between the Yashar! list and the lists of Abbas and Tibi, with whom Yashar! is not currently affiliated.
The signs in question reportedly feature Izencoat with Arabic text next to Abbas and Tibi, leading to the committee's decision to have them taken down to prevent voter deception.
