Netanyahu denies leveling ‘personal attack’ at police chief

Netanyahu denies engaging in a “personal attack” against police chief Roni Alsheich.

“There is no personal attack here, not on the police commissioner and not on anyone else,” Netanyahu writes on Facebook.

Netanyahu, who is being investigated in a pair of corruption cases, criticized Alscheich in a Facebook post Wednesday over the police chief’s comment in an interview that “powerful figures” hired private investigators to gather information about police investigators in the Netanyahu cases.

In his Facebook post Thursday, Netanyahu says Alscheich’s allegation casts doubt on the objectivity of police investigators.

“Imagine how you would feel if police investigators conducting an investigation against you claim you used private investigators against them and their families,” Netanyahu says.
