Elections Committee Chair Rejects Petitions Against Netanyahu Video

In depth

Central Elections Committee Chair Justice Noam Sohlberg rejected three petitions against a video filmed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at an Air Force base. The petitions sought the removal of the video, claiming it constitutes election propaganda.

Sohlberg ruled that the video is not election propaganda, and that its dominant purpose is security-related. However, he warned against the continued publication of similar videos, writing that as elections approach, such publications could be considered propaganda.
