Almog Cohen denies claims about contact with Yashar! party members

In depth

MK Almog Cohen denied the claim by the Yashar! party that he approached its members. "I did not speak with any person from the Akum party," Cohen said, and called the claim "pure fake news." "It is a lie, I did not speak with them," he added.

The claim appeared in a Yashar! party announcement, and Cohen publicly denied it afterward. According to him, there is no basis at all for the claim mentioned in the text message sent to party members.

According to information that reached the newspaper today, ministers Yoav Kisch and Amichai Shikli spoke with party members. Neither of the two has responded to the publication.
