Labor-Gesher says Likud behind anonymous text messages urging it to bow out

The first fraud complaints have begun to arrive at the Central Elections Committee’s office in Jerusalem.

Prospective Labor-Gesher voters have received text messages from unidentified senders — which is illegal — warning voters that the party isn’t passing the electoral threshold.

The message reads: “To keep Netanyahu from remaining in power, that guy without the mustache [Labor-Gesher leader Amir Peretz] must announce he’s dropping out of the race. They’re not passing the electoral threshold!”

Labor-Gesher is filing a complaint about the text messages alleging that they are the brainchild of the Likud campaign.
