Justice Minister Amir Ohana sent a letter to Knesset Attorney Attorney Eyal Yanun last Wednesday in which he replied to his latest letter on Prime Minister Netanyahu's immunity and Yanun's conflicts. Minister Ohana wrote: "I do not accept your reprimand, in the hope of That public servants will be treated with respect and high-ranking political affairs, even if their professional opinion is not to their satisfaction. "Remember, this week it was revealed that Yanun's wife was involved in drafting the indictments against the prime minister.

Minister Ohana explained that his dissatisfaction was not due to one or the other opinion, but to the very issue of "who was, as stated, in the post of Deputy Attorney General residing in my office - she is your spouse". The minister wonders if Yinon's protest is because she is writing? "Admitting that I would have avoided informing her, and that it was not related to the letter?"

Later in the letter, the minister wrote: "My letters - as poignant as they may be - have not been written in a disrespectful way ... in a style that justifies the reprimand that you have allowed yourself to refer to the level chosen by the public."

The letter style continues with the same wording: "I will move on to your next sting 'In the first place, I did not intend to take part in the Knesset committee hearings on the request for immunity, neither of the Prime Minister nor of Knesset Member Haim Katz."

The Minister wonders if Yanon knew his wife was part of the team that dealt with Katz's files, and claims that he himself did not know about it, but when it was stated, he did think he had to pull his hands off MK Katz "and that it occurred to you otherwise?"

The Minister concludes his letter: "Eyal, I understand that due to the couple's involvement, the subject is loaded with emotional baggage and it is understandable and natural (precisely because it would have been better to pull your hands off this topic), but we knew in the past disputes and even poignant, and we managed to maintain working relations and friendship. Good and good. I hope and suggest that this will be the case this time. "
