The Otzma Yehudit party issued a strong statement Sunday attacking the Attorney General and the law enforcement system following the summons of its Director-General, Itiel Neeman, for investigation. The party claimed this summons represents a "political persecution" by the Attorney General that has crossed "every red line." Otzma Yehudit linked Neeman's investigation to a prior incident involving Member of Knesset Yitzhak Kroizer, alleging that attempts were made to intimidate Kroizer and that he was prevented from filing a complaint for over a week after attending a memorial for a fallen childhood friend, despite having a broken rib. The party stated that law enforcement is now targeting the party's administrative level. Otzma Yehudit further asserted that the move is a "transparent attempt to harm Otzma Yehudit by any means" and accused authorities of selective enforcement. They contrasted the swift investigation of their party members with what they described as "left-wing figures and opposition Knesset members like Gilead Kariv and Naama Lazimi" whose cases are allegedly being "dragged out and dissolving."
