Justice Noam Solberg, chair of Israel's Central Elections Committee, ordered former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett to remove IDF soldiers' images from a campaign video he published and to pay 2,000 shekels in costs to the Likud party, according to The Zioneer. The ruling extends the prohibition on using public assets to the video.
Justice Noam Solberg, chair of the Central Elections Committee, ruled Thursday that former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett must remove images of IDF soldiers from a campaign video he published and pay 2,000 ILS to Likud for expenses, The Zioneer reports. Solberg determined that the permanent prohibition on using public assets applies to the video, despite it being published before the special order took effect. The ruling follows a similar decision by Solberg last month regarding MK Gadi Eisenkot's AI-generated campaign video, which Eisenkot removed after Solberg's demand. The case highlights the committee's strict enforcement of campaign finance and public resource laws ahead of the upcoming elections.
