Former minister Avigdor Lieberman has vehemently denied all media reports concerning intermediaries and alleged discussions about freezing the "arrest law." He stated that any published names, including Moshe Lion and Avi Abuhatzira, are "lies and fabrications." Lieberman asserted that no such discussions, direct or indirect, ever took place. He challenged reporters to provide specific details such as dates, times, locations, and attendees of these supposed meetings, arguing that their absence proves the events never occurred.

Lieberman also dismissed reports about a "retreat" on the conscription law, calling them a sign of basic misunderstanding by the journalists. He explained that any conscription law must first pass the Supreme Court's (בג״ץ) test, otherwise, it is a waste of time. He reiterated that "not one word of truth" exists in the television reports, characterizing them as an organized campaign aimed at damaging his reputation.

According to Lieberman, the ultimate goal of this alleged campaign is to pave the way for a short-lived minority government supported by Hamas sympathizers. This government, he claims, would then enable Benjamin Netanyahu to be appointed for another four years with a coalition of 70 Knesset members.
