What happened

Yisrael Beiteinu petitioned Israel's Central Elections Committee to force Prime Minister Netanyahu and Likud to remove Facebook posts featuring IDF soldiers, citing improper use of military imagery in election propaganda. This follows a precedent where a similar video by Gadi Eizenkot was removed for using AI-generated soldier images. Yisrael Beiteinu demands equal application of rules to Netanyahu's posts, which prominently show real soldiers and military scenes.
