Netanyahu lashes out at Israel's top cop and questions police: 'A heavy shadow has fallen on investigations against PM' - Israel News - Haaretz.com
Netanyahu responded to the report that he his "horrified that the police chief is repeating ludicrous and false innuendoes as if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent private investigators against police officers investigating him," a statement posted to his Facebook page said late Wednesday. "It is horrible that he repeated before journalists Rittman's false and ludicrous idea, as if the prime minister was somehow involved in orchestrating sexual harassment complaints against Rittman," the statement said, going on to question whether an officer facing such allegations should be allowed to play a role in the investigations.
"Every decent Israeli will ask themselves whether people who say such ludicrous things can continue to investigate the prime minister objectively and give recommendations [for indictments] in an honest manner. A big shadow has fallen over the police investigations against the prime minister," the statement said, demanding the police chief's claims be investigated.
Asked why the police aren’t investigating this information gathering operation, Alsheich responded during the interview, “It doesn’t always serve our main investigation, at the moment. Therefore, there are sometimes situations in which it’s not convenient for us to open an investigation about something, so as not to disrupt or pollute another investigation.”
