Member of Knesset Moshe Saada of the Likud party stated that former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit should "start praying for his recovery" ahead of his upcoming testimony next week. Saada, speaking on the "Kipat Barzel" program, suggested that Mandelblit cannot claim ignorance regarding the alleged falsification of protocols. Saada asserted that if Mandelblit was present during threats and subsequently ignored documents proving falsehoods, he would not be able to claim he "doesn't remember." Saada predicted the testimony would be difficult for Mandelblit, suggesting he requested a postponement due to fear of being exposed as untruthful.
Saada further commented on the potential for future investigations, stating that a new head of the Police Internal Investigations Department, appointed after the upcoming elections, could investigate these matters. He emphasized that Mandelblit would have no control or immunity in such a scenario, and facing a criminal investigation would be "terrible" for him. Saada expressed his aspiration for justice, hoping that all involved parties would be investigated and held accountable.
