Labor petitions to stop live news broadcast of Netanyahu speech
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Labor Party files a petition to the Central Elections Committee against the planned live broadcast on prime time TV of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the Likud campaign launch today at 8 p.m.
The party says the main news networks — Channel 12, Channel 13 and Kan — should be banned from broadcasting the speech live on the evening news, since that would be election propaganda which is prohibited by law from being screened in the 60 days before Knesset elections, except for specially designated time slots.
