MK Almog Cohen (Otzma Yehudit) responded to the elements in the Otzma Yehudit faction who accused him of boycotting the votes in the Knesset: "As someone who will not receive the title of 'Father of the Year', I went to my daughters' birthday party after many days of them being in the shelter during the operation 'Shield and Arrow'. I was disappointed to see the left winning thanks to a 'boycott' that I did not know about and would not have agreed to.''
