Live Updates – Israel Election 2019: Voter Turnout Higher Than Last Election; Netanyahu Breaks Law by Giving Interview

1:51 P.M. Netanyahu gives illegal radio interview

Netanyahu gives interview to Galey Yisrael radio station, breaching section 129 of Israeli Election Law. Last week, Central Election Committee head Justice Hanan Melcer issued a clear directive forbidding radio and television interviews with candidates on Election Day.

The Central Election Committee said Netanyahu violated propaganda law on Monday, when he published poll statistics less than three days before Election Day.
