Knesset legal adviser rejects claims of conflict on Netanyahu cases

Knesset legal adviser Eyal Yinon rejects claims by Likud that he has a conflict of interest over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s parliamentary immunity proceedings, after it emerged that his wife had worked on the prime minister’s criminal cases in the state prosecution.

“I reject this claim entirely,” writes Yinon in a letter to Likud MK Miki Zohar and Justice Minister Amir Ohana. “It is my hope that public officials will be treated with respect… by senior politicians, even if their professional opinions are not to their taste.”
