Netanyahu: Attorney general under ‘thuggish and inhumane pressure’ to indict me
Prime Minister Netanyahu says Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit shouldn’t summon him to a hearing ahead of a possible indictment if the process can’t be wrapped up before Knesset elections in April.
“It is unacceptable that the public will only hear the claims of one side and not the other,” Netanyahu says in a statement.
The prime minister, who police have recommended be tried in three separate corruption cases, also accuses the media and the left of asserting “thuggish and inhumane pressure” on Mandelblit to indict him.
