Opposition leader Yair Lapid criticized Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and rejects the claims that he called on factory owners to boycott Israel.
"Smotrich a liar born and raised, and continues his campaign of lies. This time he said that I called on factory owners to take their factories out of Israel. Not this never happened, nor anything close to this. If there is one record of me saying this, he is welcome to sue me. Why is he lying? Because he knows he is leading to the destruction of the economy with his own hands."
