Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's office has responded with astonishment to the words of Noa Rotman, the granddaughter of Yitzhak Rabin, who claimed that a spokeswoman for the Prime Minister's Office published a picture of Rabin with Arafat and added the root of the Hebrew word for traitor to it.

A statement by the office said, "After checking, it became clear that this was a tweet by a journalist who is not connected to the office. This was a baseless accusation that ill befit the occasion."
