Yesh Atid-Telem MK Moshe Ya’alon accuses Prime Minister Netanyahu of “incitement” against Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit, after the premier sent a fiery letter to the AG accusing him of not taking threats against him and his family seriously.

“Your trick is transparent: You know the Shin Bet is responsible for your security and [if there’s] any slight suspicion that you’re threatened, all the necessary steps are taken. There is no one more protected than you in Israel,” Ya’alon tweets.

Ya’alon, a former Likud defense minister, tells Netanyahu to “leave the attorney general alone [and] stop playing the victim,” while calling on him to resign due to the prime minister’s indictment on graft charges.
