Earlier today, Judge Salim Joubran decided to ban Prime Minister Netanyahu's recorded message. In a press conference he held, Netanyahu protested the judge's decision: "I will not let anyone silence me".

Judge Salim Joubran, chairman of the Central Elections Committee has decided to ban Prime Minister Netanyahu's recorded message from radio and television broadcast, since it was of a propagandist nature. The PM was quick to slam him for this decision: "The 'Anyone but Bibi' party speaks undisturbed. The only one not allowed to speak his mind is the prime minister from Likud. I will not let anyone silence me." Netanyahu spoke at a press

Earlier today, Yesh Atid filed an appeal to the Central Elections Committee, asking to ban Netanyahu's message due to its propagandist nature, and the committee accepted the appeal and banned the message shortly before Netanyahu's speech.

"Here is what they did not want you to hear," Netanyahu continued. "We are preparing for a determining campaign. The gap between us and the Zionist Union is still wide. Their aim is to replace the Likud government and establish a leftist government with the support of the United (Arab) List," the Prime Minister stated.

Earlier today, Prime Minister Netanyahu posted an unusually harsh message on his Facebook page, expressing his concern over the "masses of Arabs flowing to the polling stations, jeopardizing a right-wing government." Many were quick to attack him for his words. MK Ahmad Tibi (Joint List) stated Netanyahu's words stem from fear of losing his premiership.

“I can only image how that would work out here.”

Hopefully with lots of trees and lamp posts decorated with judges.
