  "account": "In a new election video, the Likud Party drew a comparison between political opponents of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and school bullies. The video depicts a mother creating anti-Netanyahu posters when her child informs her of being bullied at school. The mother, recognizing the similarity between her child's experience and the treatment Netanyahu faces, decides to discard her posters as she rushes to comfort her child. The video was shared on the Likud Party's X/Twitter account, accompanied by the message \"End the boycotts,\" and later by Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar on his personal X account. The party urged voters to support Netanyahu and the Likud in the upcoming election. This campaign comes after a KAN News report on Wednesday, which revealed that Netanyahu is unsure of his campaign strategy and fears Likud may lose the October election due to recent poll trends. He stated that the party has lost 10 seats and is uncertain about how to regain them.",
  "summary": "The campaign video's release comes following a KAN News report on Wednesday that Netanyahu is struggling to win back the seats his party lost in recent polls.",
