Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for an immediate end to his trial and a criminal investigation into senior law enforcement officials involved in his cases, citing what he described as serious failures in the handling of investigations against him. Speaking in an interview on Channel 14's "The Patriots," Netanyahu referenced testimony from former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit, which he claimed exposed severe misconduct by the prosecution and investigators.
Netanyahu asserted that Mandelblit's testimony, which addressed questions about the conduct of investigations and approvals for investigative actions in the "Cases of the Thousand," reinforced his long-held claims of impropriety. "I think the truth is coming out, not all of it yet unfortunately," Netanyahu stated. "When the investigations began, I said 'there will be nothing because there is nothing,' but I was wrong, there was a lot, not with us, with them. Witness coercion, forgery, fraud."
The Prime Minister specifically demanded a criminal investigation into Mandelblit, former State Attorney Shai Nitzan, and former prosecutors Liat Ben Ari and Judith Tirosh. "Mandelblit, Shai Nitzan, Ben Ari, Tirosh, they all need to be investigated," he declared.
When asked if he intended to take legal action himself, Netanyahu responded, "I am raising this, requesting this, I haven't done anything yet. I might sue, I don't know." He also reiterated his stance on Iran, stating, "As long as I am prime minister, Iran will not have nuclear weapons."
