  • Prime Minister Netanyahu accused law enforcement of illegally orchestrating his trial.
  • Netanyahu called for criminal investigations against former AG Mandelblit and others.
  • He claimed the legal proceedings against him were "crude and criminal stitching."
  • The Prime Minister suggested the trial aimed to force him out of politics.
  • Netanyahu linked a proposed "Accused Law" to the efforts against him.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fiercely attacked senior law enforcement officials involved in the investigations and indictment against him, claiming the legal proceedings were initiated illegally and should be terminated. Speaking on Radio Galey Israel on Sunday, Netanyahu asserted that his trial "collapsed long ago" and demonstrates the system's need for reform.

He alleged that the entire case was "born in sin, without legal authorization, against the law," and continued with "endless criminal violations," calling it an "attempted assassination of democracy." Netanyahu suggested the prosecution aimed to force him out of political life, stating, "If they can't beat me, they bring me to trial with the assumption that I will give up."

The Prime Minister also addressed a legislative initiative, dubbed the "Accused Law," promoted by Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Lieberman, linking it to the ongoing legal battle against him as another attempt to target him.

Netanyahu then called for criminal investigations against the officials he named, including former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit, former State Prosecutor Shai Nitzan, former State Prosecutor Yehudit Tirosh, State Prosecutor Liat Ben Ari, and former Police Commissioner Roni Alsheich. He directly addressed Alsheich, who previously stated he "knew every word," demanding he "face judgment now." Netanyahu concluded by describing the proceedings against him as "everything is stitched. Crude and criminal stitching."

These claims represent Netanyahu's assertions and are not judicial findings of criminal offenses by the officials he mentioned.
