Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's Likud Party has criticized chairman Benny Gantz of the Blue-and-White list, who claimed that the return of missing soldier Zecharia Baumel's body was a "political spin".
A Likud statement said, "In such a moving moment in which all the people of Israel unite with the Baumel family, Benny Gantz should be ashamed that he is engaged in refuted lies and petty politics."
