Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Central Elections Committee rules that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s planned speech at 8 p.m. at a Likud campaign event cannot be broadcast live on Israel’s television channels.
The committee chairman, Supreme Court Judge Hanan Melcer, rules that the speech can only be broadcast with a delay of at least ten minutes.
Labor had petitioned to prevent live coverage of the speech on prime time TV since it could violate the law which prohibits election propaganda on TV in the 60 days before the vote, apart from specially designated time slots.
