  • Religious Zionism youth placed mock closure signs at Channel 14 and Eli academy.
  • The protest was a response to statements made by Yair Golan.
  • Signs falsely attributed closure orders to Gilad Kariv and Golan.
  • Organizers warned of a potential government led by Gadi Eisenkot and Golan.
  • The action was a pre-election political demonstration.

Youth from the Religious Zionism party staged a political protest on Tuesday, placing signs resembling closure orders and marking tape at the entrances to Channel 14 studios and the Bnei David academy in Eli. The action, intended as a pre-election demonstration, was a response to statements made by Yair Golan concerning the funding of the academy and the continued operation of Channel 14. Organizers stated the protest aimed to illustrate their fear of potential actions by a government that might include Golan.

The signs placed at Channel 14's entrance falsely attributed the closure order to Gilad Kariv, in his capacity as Minister of Communications, while the sign at the academy attributed the directive to Golan, as Minister of Defense. Both signs indicated the supposed closures would take effect in 72 hours.

The organizers urged voters to support parties of the "National Camp" and to avoid voting for parties they claim will not pass the electoral threshold. They expressed concern about a "nightmare scenario" where vote splitting could lead to a government headed by Gadi Eisenkot and including Golan.
