Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's spokesman, Ziv Agmon, has strongly denied reports claiming he made disparaging remarks about Mizrahi Jews and senior members of the Likud party, including the prime minister. The allegations surfaced in recent media reports, prompting Agmon to issue a public statement rejecting the claims.

Agmon described the reported comments as slander and said a 'real injustice' had been done to him. He emphasized that the alleged remarks about Mizrahi communities were completely foreign to him, noting that much of his own family comes from Mizrahi and Moroccan backgrounds.
