Netanyahu dismisses existence of code to discuss Bezeq as 'complete lie'
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denied former Communication Ministry director Shlomo Filber's interrogation testimony that there was a code in which they discussed issues with Bezeq and government policy.
"A complete lie," said Netanyahu. "There was no code, I didn't approve a code."
Netanyahu indicated that he believed that Filber's testimony was the result of pressure from interrogators and the State Attorney's office.
In 2022, Filber explained in a testimony that there was a "code" of shorthand for a conversation about the continuance of former communication minister Moshe Kahlon's policies.
