Chairman Avi Nissenkhorn of the Histadrut Labor Federation, who is in fifth place on the list of the Blue and White Party for the Knesset, has denied the contention of the Likud party that he is responsible for a Sunday strike on two railway lines.

Referring to Likud Chairman Binyamin Netanayhu during an interview by Channel 13 Television, Nissenkorn explained, "This is Bibi's fake news, as he always knows how to do. As everyone knows, I'm already on vacation and am not dealing with these issues. In all the years I served as chairman of the Histadrut, there was no strike on the train."
