The Likud party launched a sharp attack on Wednesday against Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir, accusing him of spreading blatant lies against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu via an Instagram page allegedly operated by him. Likud stated that Ben-Gvir is a senior minister who will continue to serve in the next government, provided the "left bloc" including Arab parties does not win. They criticized him for "shooting within the APC" (a Hebrew idiom meaning attacking one's own side) and fabricating falsehoods against Likud and the Prime Minister.
According to Likud, Ben-Gvir is using his private "propaganda page" on Instagram, named "Push," to attack the Prime Minister with "crude and blatant lies." The party claims this page is actively working to ensure the victory of the bloc comprising Gantz, Lieberman, and Ya'alon, along with Arab parties. Likud called on Ben-Gvir to order the "Push" page to cease its operations aimed at helping the left and Arab parties win the upcoming elections.
Likud further asserted that Ben-Gvir is attacking the right and Likud instead of the left, and is also targeting figures like Winter, Zelicha, and Noam who they claim are wasting valuable right-wing votes. The party concluded its statement with a campaign message to the public, emphasizing that only a vote for Likud will guarantee a right-wing government headed by Netanyahu, with Ben-Gvir as a senior member, and will prevent a "dangerous government" of Gantz, Lieberman, and Bennett with Arab parties and Ya'alon.
