AG dismisses Netanyahu demand he not deal with PM’s conflicts of interest

Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit dismisses Prime Minister Netanyahu’s demand that he not be involved with formulating a list of the premier’s conflicts of interest.

In a letter sent earlier today to Mandelblit, Netanyahu family lawyer Yossi Cohen said the attorney general had his own conflicts of interest, namely his decision to indict of the prime minister in a series of graft cases.

Mandelblit previously gave a legal opinion saying Netanyahu can’t appoint top legal or police officials due to the criminal charges against him.
