Noam Solberg, chair of Israel's Central Election Committee, issued a temporary order requiring Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and his party to remove a video from their social media accounts. The video, published the previous evening, showed two young girls discussing how one girl's father had not been called for reserve duty in a year, attributing this to Smotrich.
