Israeli Election Propaganda Faces Irrelevance Amid Digital Shift

Israeli election broadcasts are experiencing a sharp decline in viewership, with experts attributing the phenomenon to the rise of social media. Outdated laws heavily regulate traditional media propaganda while ignoring the largely unregulated digital space, creating an "uneven playing field." Despite their low impact, parties continue to use these broadcasts, partly due to regulations favoring larger parties. Experts suggest direct, authentic communication is now more effective than polished political ads.
