Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has rejected accusations by former advisor Nir Hefetz to his confidants that Netanyahu's wife and son influenced a security decision.
A statement on behalf of Netanyahu said, "The things that were attributed to Nir Hefetz in relation to Sarah and Yair Netanyahu are nonsense. For more than seven years, Nir Hefetz has been completely removed from intelligence, political or security information and from maing decisions in these areas. Therefore, the things attributed to him are devoid of any basis."
