Yonatan Urich, Likud Chairman Binyamin Netanyahu's spokesman and new media director, locked MK Galit Distel Atbarian outside the balcony on the 14th floor of Ze'ev Citadel, the party's headquarters in Tel Aviv - and abandoned the place.

Only after Atberian knocked on the window and shouted at those present inside the building - did she go inside.

After that, Distal Atbarian and Urich verbally confronted each other and the member of the Knesset shouted at him: "Who are you anyway?".

The verbal confrontation between the two was first reported by journalist Dafna Lial.

The incident between the two happened about two weeks ago, following a debate about the extent of Galit Distel's involvement in the party's campaign in the elections to the 25th Knesset and the nature of its content.

According to sources familiar with the details, she tried to find out with him why he locked her in the balcony and he replied: "Stay there."

In addition to this, Urich shouted at her "fly off the map" as well as other harsh statements, and MK Distel Atbarian replied to him: "Who are you anyway?". Part of the incident happened in front of other people present. After that, Distel Atbarian left the building and rarely returned to it and reduced the Her involvement in the campaign. A few days later, Urich apologized to her, and she accepted his apology.

Distal Atabrian said in response that "I have known, appreciated and loved Urich for years and I see him as family, no less.

And yes, sometimes there are violent fights within the family and then they reconcile and move on to the common goal - Likud's victory.

Everything else, uninteresting gossip, next."

Urich said that "in the heat of the campaign, mistakes are made and I apologize to MK Galit Distal for the exchange between us.

I am happy that she accepted my apology and we are united together for the victory of Likud and former Prime Minister Netanyahu in the elections."
