Likud instructs MKs to avoid public talk on Iran after Saada slip

Likud is minimizing damage after MK Moshe Saada's slip of the tongue, instructing MKs not to speak publicly about Iran, two sources told Israel Hayom.

The Likud party has instructed its Knesset members to refrain from public statements on Iran, according to two sources who spoke with Israel Hayom. The directive comes after a slip of the tongue by MK Moshe Saada, for which the party is now conducting damage control. The move reflects the sensitivity of the Iran issue within the coalition, particularly given ongoing tensions with Iran. No further details on the content of Saada's remarks were provided in the report.
