Two Facebook pages linked to Eisenkot campaign blocked from paid promotion after promoting content against Bennett and Lapid
Two Facebook pages associated with the campaign of Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yashar party, were blocked from paid promotion after running ads without proper disclosure. The ban followed complaints about a post containing a false quote attributed to President Isaac Herzog, claiming the mandate to form a government should go to the largest party. Thousands of shekels were spent on the pages, which included campaigns urging votes for Eisenkot alongside negative campaigns against Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid.
Two Facebook pages linked to the campaign of Yashar party chairman Gadi Eisenkot were blocked from paid ad promotion, as reported on the "Kan B'shesh" program on Kan News. In recent days, tens of thousands of shekels were invested in the pages without proper disclosure of the political affiliation of the funder. The block came after a wave of complaints to Facebook about a post featuring a false quote attributed to President Isaac Herzog, stating that the mandate to form a government should be given to the largest party. The pages include campaigns encouraging voting for Eisenkot, alongside a broad negative campaign against Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid.
