The Prime Minister’s son, Yair Netanyahu, called on his Twitter page yesterday (Friday) for the new Knesset members and ministers not to cooperate with media channels 12 and 13. “Dear Knesset Members and Ministers, what have we learned here? Do not cooperate with Channels 12 and 13! They only want to harm you and make you look bad. Why are you such masochists? Do you want a profile reporter on TV? Go to 14 where they will be fair to you, respect you and not be hostile To you like on the 12th and 13th,” Netanyahu wrote.

One of the followers asked Yair: “Why are there leaks to Amit Segal and Ben Caspit from the Prime Minister’s Office?”, and Netanyahu replied: “It is indeed a scandal and there is no doubt that whoever is caught doing this will be fired.”
Likud clarifies: “All of Netanyahu’s associates were found to be telling the truth”
As you may recall, in Likud the “leak storm” arose following the claim of new Knesset member Tali Gottlieb, that Netanyahu’s associates had leaked a conversation they had had. The incident began when Netanyahu’s associates, Tzachi Braverman and Ikki Cohen, arrived at Knesset Member Gottlieb’s office to speak with her ahead of the Knesset member’s opening speech and tried To soften her message. According to Gottlieb, right after that the journalist Ben Caspit called her to get her reaction. “I thought to Tommy that it would stay inside the bureau,” Gottlieb wrote.

Following Gottlieb’s claims, Prime Minister and Likud Chairman Binyamin Netanyahu ordered the members of his office to undergo a polygraph test. After that, Likud announced that all the employees of Netanyahu’s office were found to be telling the truth in a polygraph test.
