Lapid tells Netanyahu to call off ‘your rottweilers’ Bitan and Amsalem
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleYesh Atid leader Yair Lapid calls on Netanyahu to put an end to proposed legislation by Likud MK David Bitan and David Amsalem that would curb the authority of the Israel Police.
“Mr. Prime Minister, you can stop this. Call on your rottweilers, Bitan and Amsalem, to stop it and stop their attacks on police. You can stop it, but you won’t,” says Lapid.
He is referring to a proposal by Amsalem to end police recommendations for indictment and another bill — since shelved — that would prevent the prosecution of a sitting prime minister. The bills have been seen as an effort by loyalist Likud MKs to protect Netanyahu from prosecution in the corruption investigations into his affairs.
