Likud blasts expected indictment announcement as ‘attempted political hit job’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe ruling Likud party releases a campaign video preemptively slamming as “an attempted political hit job” Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit’s expected announcement of planned bribery charges against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The clip repeats many of Netanyahu’s talking points against the corruption investigations against him, calling them a “house of cards” that will collapse during the hearing process, linking them to the April elections and blaming left-wing pressure applied on a “weak” Mandelblit.
Netanyahu intends to deliver a statement to the press at 8 p.m. if the announcement is indeed made before then.
