The Yisrael Beiteinu party has announced it is investigating an anonymous SMS and website campaign targeting its leader, Avigdor Lieberman, and his family. The party reported that the SMS messages, sent to Russian speakers, contained links to a website featuring false and slanderous material about Lieberman's political activities and personal life, including his wife and children. Yisrael Beiteinu stated that the SMS distribution company indicated the messages were likely sent on behalf of the Likud party. The website is presented as a special project linked to an election campaign, noting that the 26th Knesset elections are scheduled for October 27, 2026. Yisrael Beiteinu's lawyers have demanded that Likud cease sending the anonymous SMS messages and remove the publications about Lieberman and his family from the website. They also seek the identification of the campaign's organizers and clarification of Likud's potential involvement. The party expects an official response and, if none is received, plans to petition the head of the Central Elections Committee to halt the distribution of materials and identify those responsible.
