The Chairman of the Central Elections Committee, Judge Noam Sohlberg, has ordered local authorities to remove Likud campaign signs displayed in Arabic that target politician Gadi Eisenkot. The signs, which mimic the design of the "Yash" party's advertisements, depict Eisenkot alongside politicians Mansour Abbas and Ahmad Tibi with Arabic text.
Sohlberg's decision came in response to a petition filed by the Yash party. He ruled that local authorities must remove the signs themselves due to the Likud party's failure to comply with a previous order issued on Friday. Additionally, Sohlberg has instructed the Likud party to report by Monday morning on the actions taken to implement the decision, warning that further financial penalties may be considered.
The Yash party stated that the Likud and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "think they are above the law, disregard judicial decisions, and continue their propaganda of lies." They added, "In three days, the era of lies, incitement, and contempt for the law by Netanyahu and the Likud will end. The State of Israel will embark on a new path."
The Likud party responded by acknowledging the order to remove the signage featuring Eisenkot with Abbas and Tibi, stating they will comply. However, they characterized the move as an attempt to obscure the fact that "Eisenkot intends to form a left-wing government together with Ahmad Tibi, Mansour Abbas, Yair Golan, Liberman, and Bennett, which will surrender on all fronts and will not defeat Iran."
