Erdan warns AG: Announcing Netanyahu indictments before elections could unfairly oust PM
Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan is urging the attorney general to not be pressured into announcing graft indictments against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu before the April elections, saying that a hasty decision could unfairly tip the scales against the premier.
“If Mandelblit says he is planning to file an indictment, does a rushed job and as a result of his position a few seats switch and the government is ousted, it will be a serious blow to democracy,” Erdan says at a conference in Jerusalem.
Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit is currently reviewing the cases and weighing whether to announce an indictment against Netanyahu before the elections, which the prime minister has called on him not to do.
