The Likud party responded to statements made by Prime Minister Netanyahu, calling them a "fake news" storm. Netanyahu has consistently stated that ultra-Orthodox men who do not study Torah should serve in the army, and those who refuse to enlist will face jail time. Likud claims that while they plan to draft 23,000 ultra-Orthodox men over three years, the "left bloc" has proposed a law to draft only 5,000. The party further alleges that behind closed doors, the left bloc is offering ultra-Orthodox men full exemption in exchange for their support in ousting Netanyahu.
Likud accused the "left bloc" of enlisting supporters of terrorism, specifically naming Ahmad Tibi and Mansour Abbas, to form a left-wing government. The party asserted that figures like Izencot, Bennet, Lieberman, and Golan are aligned with Tibi and Abbas, whom Likud characterizes as calling IDF soldiers "war criminals," Hamas a "charity organization," and advocating for the removal of Judaism from the country. Likud criticized the media and left-wing spokespeople for remaining silent on these issues and urged voters not to fall for the "left's fake news" but to vote for Likud.
