The Election Commission today (Friday) rejected the Likud's petition against an interview with MK Yoaz Handel of the New Hope Party on the "Ofira and Barko" program broadcast on Channel 12.
The chairman of the election committee, Judge Uzi Vogelman, rejected the petition that was also filed against the interviews of MK Moshe (Boogie) Ya'alon and Lihi Lapid, the wife of the chairman of Yesh Atid, in the same program.
The Likud stated in a petition that the presenters of the program "compliment" these interviewees that they oppose the party and Prime Minister Netanyahu.
MK Handel responded to the petition on his Twitter account: "So now Netanyahu opposes me talking?
Netanyahu has forgotten the essence of the freedom movement.
The fact that he first has an opponent on the right brings him to the hallucinatory districts.
It's getting worse.
Change can only happen with great new hope. "
The chairman of the Central Election Commission, Judge Uzi Vogelman, this week banned a network channel from broadcasting a segment filmed with the prime minister on the "Standup Nation" program. The judge noted at the time that Netanyahu would not be able to participate in the program Performances by artists. "
