“These are two innocent citizens who have, by mistake, found themselves in a complex situation,” Bennett said, according to a statement released by his office. He added that the government is doing all it can to find a solution to the issue.
Bennett released a statement Saturday night saying that the couple doesn’t work for any Israeli agency.
