The Chairman of the Central Elections Committee, Judge Noam Sohlberg, has ordered local authorities to remove Likud campaign signs displayed in Arabic that target Gadi Eisenkot. The signs, which mimic the design of the "Yash" party's advertisements, depict Eisenkot alongside politicians Mansour Abbas and Ahmed 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.
Additionally, Sohlberg has instructed the Likud party to report by the following morning on the actions taken to implement the decision. He also indicated that he would consider imposing further costs on the party.
The Yash party stated that Likud and Netanyahu believe they are above the law and disregard judicial decisions, continuing their "lies." They expressed anticipation for a "new path" for Israel.
The Likud party acknowledged the order to remove the signs featuring Eisenkot with Abbas and Tibi, stating they would comply. However, they characterized the move as an attempt to obscure the fact that Eisenkot intends to form a "left-wing government" with various politicians, which they claim would "surrender on all fronts and not defeat Iran."
