Israel's Democrats sent Likud a warning letter Sunday demanding that a video posted by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to X be removed from every platform by 7 p.m. The clip includes Yair Golan discussing Mansour Abbas joining a future government. The party says the video makes Golan's comments appear to come from Saturday night's opposition-leaders meeting, although it says he made them in a Sunday morning Reshet Bet interview. Democrats say the edit misleads voters and could breach election campaign rules, and threatened legal proceedings if the video remains online.
