Netanyahu in the process: Public prosecutor's violations tried to influence elections – Israel politics

The public prosecutor tried to influence the elections by using Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption cases by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Netanyahu's claim was followed by defender Amit Hadad's presentation of an N12 report from shortly before the 2019 elections. In the report, the report said in a source that the director of the Ministry of Communication Shlomo and the owner of Bezeq, Shaul Elovitch, held a meeting in 2015.

They supposedly discussed the cancellation of anti-monopoly measures and promoted the Bezeq-Yes fusion.

The report claimed that Filber Netanyahu updated throughout the meeting and that everything had been carried out with the consent of the Prime Minister.

Netanyahu said the report was a lie and that the anti-monopoly measures were implemented three months ago. According to Netanyahu, there was no discussion about the Bezeq-Yes fusion, which he repeated during the entire certificate.

The proximity of the leak for election caused the prime minister that 99% of the public prosecutor's office was against him and “a lie over a lie over a lie” was leaked to influence the election. Netanyahu claimed that news about the cases against him as part of the agreement between the media and the prosecutor gave hundreds of licks against him to set up him.

The public prosecutor rejected the allegations and described the defender Amit Haddad as “Chuzpan” for his line of survey.

Judge Rivka Friedman-Feldman expressed impatience towards the allegations and disagreements and stated that such allegations had been made beforehand and asked Haddad to continue his examination of Netanyahu.

The comments came when the Netanyahu government had initiated measures to dismiss the General Prosecutor from their position. Outside of politics, it was not far from the courtroom even before the hearing, and the demonstrators gathered outside to demonstrate against the alleged relationship between the Israeli guide to Qatar and his Sunday parade in order to dismiss shht Head, Ronen Bar.

Netanyahu accused the public prosecutor and investigators to ignore evidence against their theory when Hadad caused 4000 to make the prime minister and the judges on the case, which is surrounded by a suspected media bestacht scheme of 2015, in which Netanyahu is accused of making the guidelines accessible.

Netanyah's answer

Netanyahu rejected allegations that he had issued filber instructions to help Elovitch in December 2015, and claimed that it was not Bezzeq, but rather the slow progress of the reforms of the telecommunications market.

“Bezeq didn't interest me. What interested me was the government,” said Netanyahu.

Filber had previously stated that Netanyahu had warned him that the adjutant had now been released if he had worked in the private sector. Netanyahu defended his comments in response to slow work in an essential government matter.

Netanyahu also denied the accusations of the indictment that a follow-up call from 2016 after filber was to further advance the Bezeq guidelines, and that the investigators had not asked the Prime Minister for it, or presented him with the report from Filber about events during the interrogation.

The topic of the conversation was a global article on anti-monopoly measures and the progress of a conflict of interest in relation to Evitch, to which the Prime Minister found that he had taken into account.

Netanyahu struck investigators, claimed that they knew the truth about the meetings and ignored important information in order to promote a case against him.

“There are two things here: to hide the truth and when the truth is revealed – ignored the truth,” said Netanyahu.

Another element that Netanyahu said that the investigators had ignored because it did not support their theory was that Bezeq had made financially worse under Filber than its predecessor. While the theory of the public prosecutor's office was that the former director of the Ministry of Communication Avi Berger had been released because he was not suitable in favor of the further development of the guidelines in accordance with the alleged bribe under Berger Bezeq, he had a better performance.

“It is completely the other way around,” said Netanyahu.

The eighteenth certificate negotiation started and ended early, and this was not the only planning problem on Monday. Due to Knesset votes, the hearing was laid on Wednesday to Tuesday.
