Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the 'Yashar!' party, has issued a strong denial of a report alleging he is engaged in negotiations with foreign entities concerning an Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon. The report, broadcast on Channel 14 and attributed to Shlomo Rizel, political correspondent for Kol Chai Radio, was labeled "an absolute lie, devoid of any factual basis, that never happened" in a furious official statement from Eisenkot's party.
Eisenkot's party stated they would not let the allegations pass without action, demanding immediate and unequivocal steps from Channel 14 and Rizel. They called for the immediate removal of the false report and a clear, unequivocal public apology from Rizel for spreading falsehoods. The party emphasized they would not accept mere explanations or evasions.
The 'Yashar!' party also attacked the perceived motives behind the report, linking it to the charged political landscape. They accused Channel 14 of operating under "atomic pressure" as the possibility of replacing the current government grows, claiming the channel's "lie and propaganda machine" is working overtime. The party asserted that the channel, acting as a mouthpiece for Prime Minister Netanyahu, is spreading baseless lies in a desperate attempt to sow fear, divide the public, and thwart the formation of a new government, stating that no campaign of lies will alter the public's decision.
