Petitions against Channel 14 and Noam party over election propaganda

In depth

The Movement for Quality Government filed an urgent petition with Central Elections Committee chairman, Justice Noam Sohlberg, demanding an injunction against Channel 14. According to the petition, the channel broadcast political messages on election day that are identified with the Likud campaign, including "the left and the Arabs are storming the polling stations," in violation of the law prohibiting the broadcast of election propaganda on election day. According to Arutz Sheva, the movement demands that the messages be removed from the channel's broadcasts and digital platforms.

In parallel, the movement filed an urgent petition with the Central Elections Committee against the Noam party over a propaganda recording in which a child's voice is heard calling to vote for the party. According to Israel Hayom, if the child is under 15, using his voice violates the law, and if the voice was created using artificial intelligence, an explicit disclosure must be added. A decision by the committee has not yet been announced.
