JERUSALEM (Reuters) - A Jordanian hip-hop group has taken legal action against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud party after one of its songs was used in a campaign video for Israel's election next month.

Firas Shehadeh, founder of the group Turabyeh ("Of the Soil"), filed an injunction with the Haifa District Court on Monday stating that the song had been used without permission, Iyad Jubran, the group's attorney, told Reuters.
