Former minister Moshe Ya'alon, one of the leaders of the Blue and White list, told Israeli public radio, Monday evening, "We are in an ugly election campaign which is full of lies - this is what is emerging from this morning's investigation into the use of 'bots'."

Responding to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's news conference on the matter, Yaalon continued, "We have been stuck for 13 years with someone who also did good work - but something happened to him."
