Shalom was right to quit over abuse claims — Netanyahu
Prime Minister Netanyahu says Silvan Shalom, dogged by over 10 claims of sexual harassment, made the right decision when he chose to step down this week.
“Shalom informed me of his decision to retire under very saddening circumstances,” Netanyahu says at his Likud party’s weekly faction meeting in the Knesset, “and I thank him for many years” of service.
(The allegations against Shalom were not substantiated and a police investigation was subsequently closed.)
