Public Security Minister Omer Barlev addressed the NSO affair, criticizing the Likud.

"Minutes after I announced that I would investigate if the NSO affair had been started with political elements seeking to hack into Benny Gantz's phone, the Likud was briefed to say they had no connection to it. I certainly hope so - I will leave no stone unturned to bring down those who wanted to destroy our democracy," Barlev promised.
