The ongoing prosecution of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is “not a trial, it is a hate crime,” asserts backbencher Likud MK Amit Halevi, as the premier is set to begin testifying in a Tel Aviv courthouse.
The case against Netanyahu is motivated by the kind of “hatred that drives jihad, the holy war against Netanyahu, the values and the public he represents,” he states.
“Don’t be impressed by the morning headlines in the newspapers, even dead fish would be ashamed if they were wrapped in them.”
