Gantz, Lapid on fake social media accounts: PM trying to play people for fools

In a press conference responding to a report on Likud’s alleged network of fake social media accounts, Blue and White chief Benny Gantz says the prime minister “has nothing left but to spread lies and poison. Netanyahu’s house of cards is falling down.”

He adds: “I’m sure there will be more lies spread. Netanyahu can smear me as much as he likes, it won’t make a difference. I will win.”

His No. 2 Yair Lapid says the premier “has had enough of running in free elections. So he has decided to cheat.”

“Bibi is trying to play the people for fools. Don’t believe anything you hear from Netanyahu in the last week of the elections,” he says.
