Likud claims Ben-Gvir is spreading blatant lies through an Instagram page called "Push," which they allege operates on his behalf. "It is regrettable that Ben-Gvir is shooting inside the APC and spreading blatant lies against Likud and the Prime Minister," the statement read. The party urged Ben-Gvir to order the page to cease its publications, which they contend aid their electoral rivals.
