The slogan was disallowed because it had been taken from a Health Ministry campaign to encourage vaccination, the Walla news site reported.
Judge Uzi Fogelman said in the ruling that the use of the Health Ministry slogan “might create the impression that the government’s campaign was also on behalf of the party.”
“The use of election propaganda by a party or candidate in the name of the Health Ministry’s vaccination campaign may create an image of identification between the public service and the candidate, an identification that could damage the public’s trust in the public service and its neutral image,” Fogelman said.
The group had also sought to bar Likud and Netanyahu from campaigning at vaccination centers and health clinics, but the Elections Committee said that there was not enough evidence that campaign visits to vaccination centers violated rules that forbid using public property for campaigning.
