In a post on Twitter, Minister Amir Ohana defended himself, writing:
"To be clear: the things I said today (Wednesday) at the Knesset were published yesterday. I do not know the details of the prohibition, because I do not have the prohibition on advertising - I am not a media. The prohibition order on the publication of investigative material is also not in my possession - I am not an investigative authority. What I said, every citizen is allowed to say."
