The Attorney General against Minister Ohana: 'False accusations are completely baseless''

July 20, 2020   

Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit sent a response this evening (Monday) to Public Security Minister Amir Ohana's letter from Friday - in which he claimed that he does not take seriously the increasing threats against the prime minister and his family. It's worth checking: You may be entitled to a lot of money from National Insurance. ""I received your letter, which was distributed to the media last Friday afternoon, at a time when we are all tirelessly engaged in addressing the burning legal issues related to the state's dealing with the coronavirus pandemic and its social, health, and economic consequences," Mandelblit wrote. His secret: Earn a prestigious degree without preparatory school and without prerequisites • Want one too? He said, "Unfortunately, the letter is full of false accusations that have no basis whatsoever regarding the law enforcement system." In his letter, Mandelblit mentions three cases in which investigations were opened and in one of them a person was even brought to justice. "Even in the face of slander and the spread of conspiracy theories that have no connection to reality, we will not shy away from carrying out our duty," the advisor stated. In his letter on Friday, Minister Ohana wrote to Mandelblit: 1. From your smug letter, it appears that you do not take my appeal seriously regarding the increasing threats to the lives of the Prime Minister and his family. 2. It seems lately that you are acting as if you have embarked on a personal battle against the Prime Minister, in the sense of "either me or him", as expressed in a series of decisions (such as your intervention to prevent the Prime Minister from receiving funding for the legal expenses that you imposed on him - when you have a built-in conflict of interest in being the accuser and the prosecutor seeking his conviction). 3. In the subject at hand, we are dealing with the law of persons, in the most literal sense: in the already turbulent public arena, explicit calls are currently being heard for the murder of the Prime Minister and his family. These are blatant and explicit calls, unlike what is called "the incitement that preceded the murder of Rabin". This is not a parable or an allusion - but explicit, and at times graphic, threats to his life. And I will not repeat the descriptions I detailed in my previous letter. 4. In addition, according to publications this week, a man named "Eitan Ido", one of the participants in the demonstrations against the Prime Minister, published In the WhatsApp group, "...each of the protesters is willing to be the victim for the country and to be Yigal Amir and the executor of the elimination of Bibi...". 5. Another person named "Menashe Ofer" wrote: "Walla is right, Bibi should be removed like they removed Rabin...". 6. In addition, just yesterday, a protester was recorded on Balfour Street explicitly telling one of the residents of the neighborhood whose children have not been able to sleep for a month: "We don't want him, Bibi. Can't you eliminate him? Can't you eliminate him"? 7. In your letter, you do not specify at all what was done in the cases I mentioned. Was an investigation opened? Were detainees arrested? 8. What is the legal source of the authority you took for yourself to decide when the police will open an investigation into the offense of incitement to violence? Can you refer to the sections of the law? 9. To the extent that measures have been taken, investigations have been opened, detainees have been arrested - this should be published so that people can see and hear. The wild incitement gives the impression that "there is no law and no judge." 10. The Attorney General – You decided to exercise your authority and file an indictment against the Prime Minister. This is not a life-or-death struggle. Mandelblit's response letter:
