PM criticizes delay in airing of his speech, while ‘leftist propaganda’ allowed
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slams the Central Election Committee for banning live TV broadcasts of his campaign speech this evening for fear it could violate anti-propaganda laws.
Responding to the decision, Netanyahu writes on Twitter: “Every evening the leftist propaganda channels give a full platform to the left-wing [Blue and White] party of [Yair] Lapid and [Benny] Gantz. Only in the case of the Likud is it ‘election propaganda.'”
The prime minister encourages Israelis to watch the speech “without delay and without censorship” via his Facebook page.
