The Likud party issued a sharp statement on Tuesday following the testimony of former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit in the trial of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The party asserted that the court proceedings prove the case against Netanyahu was a "witch hunt" aimed at his ouster. Likud claimed Netanyahu, his wife, sons, and associates have endured "seven circles of hell" over the years, contributing to Israel's costly five election cycles.
The party further alleged that Mandelblit approved the indictment without reviewing the evidence and that his scanned signature was used to file the document while Netanyahu was representing Israel at the White House. Likud criticized Mandelblit for allowing years of public attacks against Netanyahu and his family, suggesting he knew there was an attempt to achieve through "improper means what could not be achieved at the ballot box."
Concluding its statement, Likud demanded the immediate cessation of the trial upon the conclusion of Mandelblit's testimony, the dismissal of charges against Netanyahu, and a criminal investigation into Mandelblit, former State Prosecutor Shiy Nitzan, former Deputy State Prosecutor Yehudit Tirosh, State Prosecutor Liat Ben Ari, former Police Commissioner Roni Alsheich, and other investigators involved in the case.
