 * ... that the minor Israeli political party Eretz Hadasha ran a video series alleging, among other things, that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu carried money in his socks, and in response Netanyahu's bureau threatened to sue the party for libel?


 * Symbol possible vote.svg The article was new enough when listed, and at a glance is long enough. The hook is too long, 242 characters. However that is a minor point.
 * a) The hook contains contentious BLP material.
 * b) One of the people in the hook is threatening to sue the other over the allegation in the hook.
 * c) The hook, and indeed the entire article are sourced in Hebrew.
 * I personally don't think we want contentious BLP wp:GOSSIP which may be the subject of libel action on the main page of Wikipedia. Martin 4 5 1  (talk) 17:30, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. Although I think the hook completely satisfies WP:BLP, I can see why you wouldn't want it on the main page. We can make something much more neutral though, but much less interesting:


 * ... that the Israeli political party Eretz Hadasha ran in the January 2013 elections in Israel but did not receive enough votes to enter the Knesset?

 * Symbol confirmed.svg This hook is neutral, and cited in the article. However as you say, it is a lot less interesting, the only think I could think of would be to mention being party with second most page views on Hebrew wiki, but Wikipedia does not like self references.
