The couple Mordi and Natalie Oknin were arrested in Turkey in early November, after photographing Erdogan's residence.
The court then decided to extend their detention by 20 days on suspicion of "political or military espionage."
Bennett, Lapid and President Yitzhak Herzog made it clear that the couple has no connection to any state agency.
After a week in detention, the couple were released and returned to Israel.
