"As the cases concocted against Prime Minister Netanyahu crumble in court, new and false cases are concocted," the ruling party said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ruling Likud Party accused Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara on Thursday of “concocting false cases” against the premier’s people out of personal interest after she announced a probe into his office’s alleged dealings with Qatar.
“As the cases concocted against Prime Minister Netanyahu crumble in court, new and false cases are concocted against his people out of the personal interests of those leading the investigation,” the Likud Party stated, in reference to the premier’s ongoing trial on corruption charges.
The party was responding to a Ynet report that Baharav-Miara decided to open a formal investigation into “the connection between elements in the Prime Minister’s Office and elements linked to Qatar.”
