Less than a week before the 24th Knesset elections, and against the background of the upcoming Election Day, we spoke this morning (Wednesday) in "Bardugo on the Morning", the podcast of "Israel Today", with the Minister of Internal Security, Amir Ohana.
What do you think about crime in the Negev?
Why are you not operating in this sector?
I visited the Negev a lot and saw the challenges in the area.
I visited many stations in the south.
Soon a revolution is going to be made in the Negev region, I already see the fruits on the way.
I intend to chain myself to the BTP office to be there when this revolution happens.
The courts need these things too
I am ready to accept the BTP case and also the case file together
Throughout the years, the Likud has sold the case file to other parties, once to Tzipi Livni, once to Ayelet Shaked and most recently to Avi Nissenkorn.
Will you give up the justice case this time too?
There is a historic opportunity here to form a right-wing coalition that will change the justice system.
We have declared that there will be no rotation and the goal is to form a right-wing national government.
When we handed over the case file to Ayelet Shaked, there was hope that she would make a difference, but she did not.
She boasts of appointing referees during her term, but the change needs to be made in the rules of the game, and not just replace the people who take part in it.
The real chairman of the opposition is not Yair Lapid, but Spokesman Avichai Mandelblit?
Do you agree with that?
The ombudsman is a political actor, unequivocally. He acts in a conflict of interest and would have done well if he had resigned.
Is he a political actor? Does he have an ideology?
The ombudsman has one goal, and that is to overthrow Netanyahu. From the moment he decides to file an indictment, he devotes all his energies to overthrowing the prime minister. Which limits the powers of the ombudsman.
I invite the Spokesman for a public confrontation between me and him wherever he wants. I think the moderator of the confrontation will even be one of his mouthpieces on the television channels. The danger.
What do you think about carrying animals?
I think the problem starts with the ombudsman's office, mainly because it has no demarcation boundaries. It is an institution that was not elected and does not operate within the framework of legislation.
Will you have 61 seats to form a government?
We're close to 61.
If the Likud members who want to continue Netanyahu's term do not stay at home, we will also get more than 61.
I call on all Likudniks to go out and vote and also to persuade more people.
After Gideon Saar left the Likud, I believe that the phenomenon of defectors from the Likud no longer exists.
We are all united behind Netanyahu, who was democratically elected by party functionaries.
