The Yisrael party, led by former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot, issued an urgent statement Sunday evening warning voters that messages circulating in its name over the past several hours are fraudulent.
According to the party, the messages are being sent as if from Yisrael, but the party has no connection to them whatsoever. Party officials announced they intend to petition the Central Elections Committee on the matter.
In a statement posted on the party's official X account, Yisrael wrote: "In recent hours, fake messages are being circulated that are supposedly sent on behalf of and in the name of the Yisrael party. We clarify unequivocally: the party has no connection whatsoever to these messages, and they are not from us."
The party did not stop at denying the messages, but also leveled sharp criticism at those it says are behind the distribution. However, the statement did not identify who is suspected of sending the messages, nor did it detail their content.
"We are sorry that there are those who choose, out of pressure and panic, to impersonate the party, spread lies, and mislead the public," the party's statement said.
