Petition to ban ‘Blue and White’ over copyright claims rejected
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Central Elections committee rejects a petition to ban the name of Benny Gantz and Yair Lapid’s Blue and White Party after a compromise was reached with the complainant.
Maaleh Adumim mayor Benny Kashriel told the election committee he registered his local political faction as “Blue and White” several years ago. According to reports, Kashriel and the committee reached an unspecified agreement that allows the national political party to legally use the name.
The deal also stipulates that Kashriel will also be able to use “Blue and White” in future political campaigns.
