The Likud party issued a sharp statement Sunday demanding an immediate halt to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's trial and calling for criminal investigations into senior law enforcement officials. The party's demand followed testimony by former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit in court. Likud asserted that Mandelblit's testimony revealed the "truth" that the trial is a "witch hunt" aimed at ousting a right-wing prime minister. The party accused Mandelblit of approving documents with a scanned signature without reviewing the evidence while Netanyahu was representing Israel at the White House. "They tried to do by illicit means what they could not achieve at the ballot box," Likud stated, demanding the closure of the cases against Netanyahu and criminal probes into Mandelblit, former State Prosecutor Shai Nitzan, State Prosecutor Judith Tirosh, State Prosecutor Liat Ben Ari, former Police Commissioner Roni Alsheich, and involved investigators. Likud alleges these officials acted unlawfully in handling the cases against the prime minister.
