AG says insufficient evidence of illegal propaganda by Likud via fake accounts

Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit tells the head of the Central Elections Committee, Supreme Court Justice Hanan Melcer, that there isn’t sufficient factual evidence to determine that the Likud party is funding illegal propaganda via online bots and fake profiles.

Mandelblit issues his legal opinion in response to a petition by the rival Blue and White party following a report published yesterday by the New York Times and the Israeli Yedioth Ahronoth daily, which found a large number of alleged pro-Netanyahu fake accounts — without saying they were affiliated with Likud.
