The Yamina party said Likud spokesmen were spreading lies about MK Naftali Bennett.
"These are total lies. Bennett never said no country would go on lockdown. He said and still maintains that successful states would avoid a second closure...and Israel could have been one of those."
"We're asking the public to ignore these rumors and future ones as well. Unfortunately, the Likud will make use of 'Fake News' as a central tool in its election campaign," stated representatives of Yamina.
