Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit responds to Prime Minister Netanyahu’s claim that he’s not taking threats against the premier and his family seriously.

Mandelblit writes in a letter to Netanyahu that 29 investigations have been opened in recent months for alleged threats and incitement to violence against the premier and his family. He says all law enforcement and legal officials take any threats against Netanyahu and his family seriously.

“Therefore, there is no basis for your claims as if someone is belittling the complaints in relation to you or any of your family members,” Mandelblit says.

“Public leaders also have a central role and responsibility in calming the winds,” he adds in apparent criticism on Netanyahu.
