In response to the Yashar party's claim, Likud stated that "Gadi Eisenkot and Ronen Manlis are under pressure as their plans to cooperate with terror-supporting parties are being disrupted." Yashar claimed earlier that "in recent hours, hysteria is noticeable in Likud, including phone calls to Yashar members from ministers and designated Knesset members, among them Almog Cohen, Yoav Kish, Yaakov Bardogo and others."
