The Chairman of the Central Elections Committee, Judge Noam Sohlberg, has ordered the Likud party to remove election signs displayed across Israel. These signs feature leaders of the left-wing bloc alongside Mansour Abbas and Ahmad Tibi. Sohlberg ruled that the signage could create a misleading impression of a political connection between the "Yashar!" party and parties with which it claims no affiliation.
The decision raises questions about enforcement across all parties, specifically whether other parties' publications that mislead the public are examined under the same rules and also required for removal.
