The Central Election Committee chairman, Judge Noam Solberg, ruled today (Wednesday) that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Likud party must pay 2,500 shekels in legal costs to The Democrats party.

The decision follows a petition filed by The Democrats against a campaign video filmed by Netanyahu in the Gaza Strip, alleging it constituted illegal election propaganda ahead of the upcoming vote.
