"He went on to tell reporters a false story of a poor man. He goes and sells lies to reporters. There were journalists who wanted to see his poll, and he waved them off," Saar said in an interview with Amnon Sofer on Radio South.
"We already have one cheater, we should not imitate him in deception either. There are codes of values and behavior that do not violate them even when you are under pressure, and it is very unfortunate that Bennett, in the last election campaign, showed inability to stand and signed this childish document. ".
"He showed personal dishonesty, and it's a shame he did that. He knows very well that he's going down in the polls and that I'm going up," Saar added.
"He is simply a liar, he will lie under pressure to mislead the voters. This is behavior that suits Netanyahu and one Netanyahu is enough for us. We do not need another small new Netanyahu."
In response to Saar's remarks, the right-wing party said: "Gideon's defectors' party has collapsed and is fighting the blocking percentage because the public is fed up with Saar's political activism, and wants Naftali Bennett's leadership and action to jumpstart Israel's economy through a sharp and immediate tax burden."
The Likud said: "Bennett continues to evade committing to what we have been asking of him for weeks - a government in which Lapid will not be a part. Whoever votes for the Likud will get Bennett in a stable right-wing government. Whoever votes for Bennett will get Bennett in government with Lapid."
Earlier today, Lapid attacked Bennett for his remarks, saying that "there is always a difference between Naftali Bennett of the television and Naftali Bennett of the conversations in the closed rooms. All this commotion is gathering for the 61st Mandate, there is a war on him. Everyone who hears us should know how much the voice His is important, "said Lapid in an interview given to Aryeh Golan on the program" This Morning "here on Net B.
"If the undecided leave the house, there will be a decision in this election. Everyone needs to understand that he can make a difference between hope and despair. These are elections that are still open," he added.
Chairman Yesh Atid also said that voter votes "can decide between change and despair and anger."
In his remarks, he attacked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying that it "is trying this whole election campaign to hide the composition of its government - which will include Litzman, Deri, Smutrich and Ben Gvir. It will be a dark, racist and homophobic government that will destroy the Supreme Court, the "Israeli democracy and the middle-class economy. This is a government of blackmailers and racists that will take the money of working people and give it to people who do not work."
"If there are 61 seats for the bloc of change and there is a great future, then everyone will sit around the table, there will be a week of riots and shouting - and in the end there will be a government," he added.
"You can bring about that change. It depends on the people sitting in the house."
Gideon Saar, chairman of Tikva Hadasha, also commented on the signing. "It is now completely clear: a few meters before the finish line, Bennett collapsed directly into Netanyahu's arms, and spiced up the collapse with a day of lies and spins from his master's creator," he wrote on Twitter. His. "Failed in leadership.
Failed to stand under pressure.
Only great new hope will bring change and replace Netanyahu. "
