Bitan is behind the publication of defamatory statements about Netanyahu's associate: "Sa'ar mole" - voila! news. "Iki Cohen, how long will you continue to leak mercury to Ben? How long will there continue to be Gideon Sa'ar's mole in Netanyahu's office? I wonder when Ben Caspit will start reporting on Yair and Sarah? Before or after you get a job," the text messages read.

Bitan, who recently came out strongly against Netanyahu, said in response that he was not familiar with the issue.
