MK Nir Barkat (Likud) rejected reports that there is tension between him and Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu.
"In recent days, false reports of tension between me and the prime minister have been circulated, following the round of ministerial appointments.This is a complete lie by interested parties who want to hurt the long, courageous and strong relationship between me and the prime minister."
"I support Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu, who is committed to the Likud's success and will soon embark on the field with the economic plan I am formulating these days," Barkat said.
