Netanyahu bashes AG as justice officials said weighing if PM must step down
(Worthy News) – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lashed Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit, the state prosecution and police on Wednesday evening, questioning the conduct of law enforcement and calling for an independent probe, after a news report claimed law enforcement officials covered up a serious conflict of interest by one of the investigators into his cases so as not to derail the corruption investigations into the premier.
Meanwhile Mandelblit was reportedly holding talks with senior officials about the possibility of requiring Netanyahu to step down amid concerns that he is using his position to protect himself and undermine the rule of law as his corruption trial picks up pace.
Mandelblit believes that Netanyahu’s use of government resources to push his case to the public, including calling press conferences ostensibly about the health emergency, which are then used to question the reliability of law enforcement, could constitute a conflict of interest, Haaretz said in an unsourced report.
