English · Sole source

Likud MK Moshe Saada is calling for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's indictment to be withdrawn after the upcoming elections, proposing a new attorney general handle the case. Saada also demands investigations into former top law enforcement officials, including Avichai Mandelblit and Shai Nitzan, whom he accuses of misconduct and a "campaign of persecution" against Netanyahu. He alleges illegal tactics were used and that Mandelblit failed to act on suspicions of witness pressure. If his party wins, Saada wants a new attorney general to dismiss the indictment and a new DIPI chief to investigate the officials involved.
