Opposition leader Yachimovich: Netanyahu not fit to serve
“Netanyahu isn’t fit to serve in his position anymore,” Opposition Leader Shelly Yachimovich says in response to his claims that the corruption investigations against him were not carried out properly. “We witnessed a cynical and lame election speech by someone who tries with all his might to escape justice.”
Yachimovich says she will ask the Central Elections Committee to prevent similar incidents in the future.
“It is a blatant and coarse intervention by Netanyahu in his legal case, while creating a fake drama out of nothing and taking over screentime like the last of the dictators,” she charges.
