Science Minister Ofir Akunis condemned the attacks by the Kulanu party members on prime minister Netanyahu.

"The orchestrated attack by the Kulanu party is both insolent and fallacious. The criticism is not directed at the Police Commissioner or the police but rather at the offensive phenomenon of leaks," Akunis said, adding: "Is there a connection between the fact that Lior Horev, who serves as the Police Commissioner's advisor, was until recently a political advisor to the Kulanu party?"
