Ashkenazi: History will judge those who give immunity to criminal suspects
Former IDF chief of staff and new Blue and White Knesset member Gabi Ashkenazi says in his inaugural Knesset address that “No one is above the law, including the prime minister.”
He warns members of the prospective coalition: “Don’t allow immunity for those suspected of criminal activities in your coalition deals. History will judge your behavior and choices during this time.”

Ashkenazi adds that Israel is a strong nation and does not face existential outward threats. The real threat, he asserts, “is the internal threat to its character, image, unity and social fortitude.”
