Likud:
The real scandal that has emerged over the past two days is blatant foreign interference in Israel’s elections.
It has emerged that the person behind the false report in the newspaper “Haaretz” is senior Palestinian figure Mohammed Dahlan, who is based in the UAE.
Dahlan formed a joint list with Hamas for the Palestinian Authority elections. He wants to bring down the right-wing government headed by Netanyahu because he dreams of taking control of the Gaza Strip. To do so, he needs a weak left-wing government made up of Eisenkot, Yair Golan, Lieberman, and the Arab parties. Such a government would withdraw from Gaza and hand it over to his control.
It was also revealed that Shlomi Eldar, who published the fake news, received payment from a left-wing nonprofit organization linked to Yair Golan’s “Democrats” party in order to spread his false allegation.
In addition, about two months ago, Yair Golan and Ronen Bar secretly visited the United Arab Emirates. Is this secret visit connected to the false report in “Haaretz”?
Likud is demanding that a criminal investigation be opened against Shlomi Eldar, Ruth Yuval, the newspaper “Haaretz,” Yair Golan, and the “Democrats” party over suspected attempts to interfere with the elections in coordination with foreign actors.
