Not military justice, but . . .

The Attorney General of Israel has ordered that the IDF not be used for propaganda purposes in the current political campaigns. This means that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cannot use soldiers in his campaign ads. The ruling puts him at a disadvantage because his opponent is a retired Chief of General Staff, Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz. Interestingly, the attorney general is a former Military Advocate General, Maj. Gen. (ret) Avichai Mandelblit. Details here.

The ruling aside, Netanyahu remains the favorite at this writing.
