Sources close to Prime Minister Netanyahu responded to the Channel 2 report that Arnon Milchan's housekeeper said that "Netanyahu spoke with me about cigars and told me what to buy."

Netanyahu's associates responded that 'this is a further attempt to revive the story which has nothing to it via false and illegal leaks which also add up to nothing. The public is long since fed up with the organized media campaign whose goal is to topple Prime Minister Netanyahu and change the government without elections. We reiterate: There won't be anything because there wasn't anything."
