Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Minister Yariv Levin on Sunday addressed social media rumors claiming he was removed from Bloomfield Stadium during a soccer match. Speaking on the radio program "P'tichi v'Zamri Ba'am" on Radio Galey Israel, Levin firmly rejected the allegations, stating, "It's a shame to fall for these false descriptions that leftists spread. I was not 'ejected' or anything of the sort." He explained that he left the stadium during halftime to get a drink, as is customary, and returned for the second half. Levin criticized attempts to create a false media narrative around his presence at the stadium, calling the story "ridiculous and false." He acknowledged that "some hateful leftist" shouted something at him, but asserted that this was an isolated incident and did not reflect the overall atmosphere. "On the contrary," Levin said, "there were many, many who came to cheer and encourage, and that is the true picture."
