NETANYAHU AND REGEV WERE FORCED TO REMOVE PROPAGANDA VIDEOS

Defense Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Culture Minister Miri Regev were required to remove videos they uploaded to the network following the activities of two activists.

Uri Kol, a non-profit organization, petitioned the Central Elections Committee against Regev and her office, claiming that the two-and-a-half-hour video documenting the festival "Keter Hamizrach - Salutes the Residents of the Gaza Envelope" is an election propaganda campaign "to praise and elevate [Regev] Achievements, to present it in a flattering way, and to create a deep cognitive connection between it and the very existence of the Mizrahi singer ... and all this, financed by the public. " The Culture Ministry informed the committee that they had removed the video.

Attorney Shachar Ben-Meir petitioned the Elections Committee regarding a short video, in which Benjamin Netanyahu was photographed by LAM while talking to soldiers and praising them and the IDF. The Attorney General informed the Committee of the State's position that "difficulties arise in the face of Section 2A of the Propaganda Methods Law. This is due in part to the fact that the video was made by civil servants from materials originating in the GPO and other government sources, and taking into consideration the characteristics of the video; Such as the one that was produced and edited, combining remarks made by the prime minister with the soldiers during the visit, accompanied by music and pictures, which create dramatic effects and highlight the personal part of the prime minister in the video. In light of the above, the Attorney General instructed senior officials in the Prime Minister's Office to take action to remove the video from the official Facebook page and from any other official social network page without delay. [...] The position of the Attorney General is that the video should also be removed from the private-political page used by the Likud movement. this,
