Ya’alon says attacks on Mandelblit come ‘from Netanyahu emissaries’

Responding to the recent death threats against Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit, Yesh Atid-Telem’s Moshe Ya’alon says such attacks originate with messengers of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

It is not clear whether he is claiming the death threats themselves came from the prime minister’s associates.

“We’ve become used to hearing that the attorney general is under attack,” he tells Army Radio. “It’s obvious that it is by Netanyahu’s messengers.”

He adds: “I know the people who attack Mandelblit. The one allegedly nurturing them is Netanyahu.”
