Netanyahu breaks election laws by giving radio interviews

Benjamin Netanyahu breached Israeli election laws by giving two illegal radio interviews on Tuesday. He gave one interview to the right-wing Kol Chai radio station and another one to the Galey Israel radio station.

The interviews are in breach of Section 129 of Israeli election law, according to Haaretz. Last week, Israel's Central Election Committee issued a directive forbidding radio and television interviews with candidates on election day.
