Zandberg mocks PM ‘dramatic announcement,’ says future addresses shouldn’t be broadcast live
Tamar Zandberg, head of the left-wing Meretz party, mocked Netanyahu and said that “about such a ‘dramatic announcement,’ you can really say, ‘there’s nothing because nothing happened,'” using the premier’s longtime slogan regarding his corruption probes.
“The only dramatic thing here is a prime minister who continues to serve with a [police] recommendation of three bribery trials,” Zandberg said in a statement. “Until Netanyahu resigns, this is election propaganda that shouldn’t be broadcast.”
