- Yashar party leader Gadi Eisenkot asked the Attorney General to stop PM Netanyahu's election meeting.
- The party claims Netanyahu is interfering in elections he is a candidate in.
- Yashar alleges the meeting with the Police Commissioner lacks election committee representation.
- The party fears Netanyahu is trying to pressure public officials due to election loss fears.
- Yashar wants the meeting canceled to prevent undermining public trust in election results.
The Yashar party, led by Gadi Eisenkot, has urgently appealed to the Attorney General and the Chairman of the Central Elections Committee, demanding they halt what they describe as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's interference in the elections. The party specifically requests the cancellation of a meeting Netanyahu scheduled with the Police Commissioner concerning election integrity, arguing that representatives from the Central Elections Committee were not invited.
Yashar contends that Netanyahu, as a candidate himself, is not the appropriate authority to oversee election integrity, and that the Police Commissioner is not subordinate to the Prime Minister on this matter. The party expressed concern that holding such a meeting without election committee representatives could suggest political interference in a sensitive democratic process, potentially undermining public trust in the election results even without a factual basis.
The party further asserted that Netanyahu fears losing the election and is attempting to pressure public officials to advance his political interests. Yashar is calling on the Attorney General and the Chairman of the Central Elections Committee to intervene and prevent the meeting from taking place.
