Advisors to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu invited Gal Shinoter, the Chairwoman of the Tel Aviv University Student Union, for an interview with the Prime Minister at the Likud election headquarters. Upon her arrival, Shinoter presented a list of questions, but Topaz Lok, a Likud campaign official, began to delete some of them. According to Shinoter, Lok and Likud's campaign manager and Mayor of Bat Yam, Zvika Brot, were present during the questioning. While Netanyahu was filmed playing ping-pong with activists for a campaign video, Lok and his associates reviewed Shinoter's questions. They marked which questions were acceptable and which were not, explaining to Shinoter that inquiries regarding October 7 and a state investigation committee "do not currently serve the campaign."
