In an interview with Golan Yokfaz and Anat Davidov on 103FM, Nitzan, the former State Attorney, defended the State Attorney's Office.
In response to Netanyahu's statement that the trial against him was "improper use of force by the prosecution. They are on a hunting trip, they did not investigate an offense, they did not seek an offense, they sought a person, they sought me."
Nitzan: "Netanyahu's attacks are intensifying and also include lies. Shame. He has to conduct his attacks in court ... he imagines. There is no hunting trip against him or his family, there were cases that were investigated and closed. In the submarine case to this day we are attacked from the other side That we did not interrogate him "
Regarding the continuation of the legal proceedings against Netanyahu, Nitzan said: "I estimate that the chance that the Netanyahu trial will be stopped is small, although it is not zero. What is certain is that it would be very bad if, due to a political constellation, a proper trial was held."
On the allegations of a coup d'etat, Nitzan told FM103: "An attempt at a coup d'etat? What a baseless allegation. Who is trying to make a coup? Roni Alshikh? Avichai Mandelblit? Me? We were all public servants for decades. .
If we wanted to make a coup attempt, we would go with all our might. "
Asked if he thought there was much resemblance between the prime minister's speech and that of Trump who preceded the attack on the Capitol, Nitzan said: "I suggest not exaggerating or firing. Thank God we are far from that."
Nitzan added: "I want to remind you that the person who appointed me to the position was a government headed by Netanyahu. He knew me beforehand from cases and affair. The person who appointed Mandelblit was Netanyahu. Netanyahu is waging a very inappropriate campaign. He said there is nothing and there will be nothing, so please come "To the court. People before him, important and respected, conducted the battle in court, and whoever came out entitled - came out entitled. A trial should not be conducted in the media, but if the prime minister decided to do so, then I felt obliged to address."
"It is clear that he is targeting his base and his supporters. There is a public that probably will not say it will not change, but there is also a public that respects the prime minister, but says that maybe really ... Netanyahu claimed that we set the deadline for submitting the letter of suspicion before the election to harm him. .
How much can the facts be reversed?
The election was to take place a year later.
I announced that we had transferred the materials to the ombudsman, and three days later Netanyahu decided to advance the election. "
On the future of the trial against Netanyahu, he said: "I heard Netanyahu say that everyone knows that the case has collapsed, and that too Pike. I hope and believe that the State of Israel is strong enough for a prime minister's trial to end in court. You live like me in this country, I do not know what laws can "You can imagine a lot of things. I estimate that the chances of the trial being stopped are small, even though it is not zero, and I know it would be very bad if they stopped a trial that should take place in Israel. Anything can happen in this country."
