MK Gadi Eisenkot lodged a formal complaint with the Central Elections Committee, demanding the removal of a video in which the Religious Zionism party claims he and Naftali Bennett would establish a Palestinian state, according to Amit Segal (N12).
MK Gadi Eisenkot filed a complaint with the Central Elections Committee on Friday morning, requesting that it order the removal of a video published by the Religious Zionism party. The video alleges that in a government led by Eisenkot, Naftali Bennett as regional cooperation minister would advance the establishment of a Palestinian state. The complaint was reported by Amit Segal (N12).
The complaint directly responds to the video, which was released Tuesday evening as part of the election campaign. As The Zioneer previously reported, the original video featured Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich warning that a Bennett-Eisenkot government would create a Palestinian state, targeting Bennett's recent interview expressing support for Palestinian autonomy in Judea and Samaria. The video has since been circulated widely on social media. The Central Elections Committee has not yet issued a ruling on the complaint.
