Minister Gideon Sa'ar submitted an affidavit Sunday denying MK Sharren Haskel's claim that members of his faction were required to document their vote for candidate Rabillo, according to reports. Sa'ar said no such instruction was given and he clarified to New Hope members not to document the vote.
Minister Gideon Sa'ar denied in a sworn affidavit filed Sunday evening the claim by MK Sharren Haskel that members of his New Hope faction were required to document their vote for candidate Rabillo. Sa'ar stated that no such directive was issued, and that he explicitly instructed faction members not to document their votes, according to reports.
Earlier Sunday, Sa'ar told the High Court of Justice that Haskel's allegations regarding the selection of the State Comptroller were a 'media provocation,' as reported by ynet. The new affidavit addresses a separate claim by Haskel concerning internal faction voting procedures. The background of the dispute remains unclear, and no official response from Haskel has been reported.
