Member of Knesset Yitzhak Kroizer of the Otzma Yehudit party presented himself for questioning at the Lahav 433 police unit on Sunday, vehemently criticizing the Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara and senior police officials. Kroizer alleged that he is being politically persecuted and that the system is engaging in selective enforcement and fabricating a case against him just days before the elections.
Kroizer stated that he is a law-abiding citizen with nothing to hide. He recounted an incident where he was violently assaulted, receiving punches to his face and ribs and a kick to his abdomen, leaving him injured. This assault, he claimed, occurred in front of his ten-year-old son.
Following the assault, Kroizer attempted to file a complaint with the Police Internal Investigations Department (Mahash) regarding the violence. However, he claims he was prevented from submitting his complaint after waiting for nearly four hours. "Four hours to prevent me from filing a complaint. A few moments to turn me into a suspect," Kroizer stated, emphasizing the timing just before the elections.
He further accused Baharav-Miara and other senior law enforcement officials of conducting a "blatant, selective enforcement, a gross trampling of the rule of law, and a political case fabrication on steroids." Kroizer asserted that their actions are part of an election campaign against Otzma Yehudit and the right-wing government, adding that the law enforcement system is not a gang free to act as it pleases.
