Times of Israel – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party released a campaign video Saturday portraying his political rivals as kindergarten children, with Netanyahu playing the role of responsible adult. But the video quickly came under fire for apparently violating campaign regulations barring parties from using children under the age of 15 in ads.
The Likud party headquarters responded by saying the ad, which was posted on YouTube on Saturday and screened on Channel 2 news on Saturday night, hadn’t been approved for broadcast.
