Israel's Central Elections Committee chairman, Judge Noam Sohlberg, has ordered local authorities to remove campaign billboards from the Likud party that feature Gadi Eisenkot alongside Mansour Abbas and Ahmad Tibi. The billboards accuse Eisenkot of seeking to form a "minority government." The judicial action was prompted by a petition from the Yachad party, led by Eisenkot, which objected to the billboards containing Arabic phrases such as "This is what a minority government looks like. This is not Yachad! This is the left." Local authorities are now tasked with removing the signs after Likud failed to comply with an earlier judicial order. Sohlberg has requested the party submit a report by the following morning detailing its actions to comply with the ruling and is considering imposing additional legal costs.
In response, the Yachad party accused Likud and its leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, of disregarding judicial decisions and continuing to use misleading campaign tactics. Yachad stated that the situation reflects a disregard for the law and expressed belief that the upcoming period will mark the end of incitement and lies, ushering in a new political path for Israel. The dispute over the billboards highlights the escalating campaign rivalry between Israeli parties as elections approach, with potential alliances and the composition of the next government becoming central themes in political exchanges.
