Katz backs up Netanyahu's denial of responsibility for the Miron disaster: Is the Chief of Staff responsible for the helicopter disaster?

In an interview with 103, the senior Likud compared the disasters and said that "there was no discussion on the issue of safety in which he participated. Disasters happen in our country. If an operation fails, then would the prime minister bear the responsibility here?"

Senior Likud Member of Knesset Yisrael Katz this morning (Sunday) backed up his party chairman Benjamin Netanyahu's disclaimer of responsibility for the Miron disaster, which happened while he was prime minister. "All the discussions the prime minister conducted were on a health basis, on the subject of the corona virus," he said in an interview with 103FM "On this issue, he went into great detail.

There was no safety discussion in which he participated - that should be understood.

There was a discussion, what the limit would or would not be regarding the participation of people in Miron that year.

" "Unbeknownst to us, disasters like the helicopter disaster happen in our country, but that does not mean that the Chief of Staff and the Minister of Defense at the time came and told them that they were responsible for the incident in the sense of being held accountable." , he said and added: "If an operation failed, then the Prime Minister would bear the responsibility here?"

Regarding the upcoming election, he stressed: "We need to make sure that now there will be no talks and no agreements about rotations, about an alternate prime minister - but whoever wins Binyamin Netanyahu under the leadership of the Likud or Yair Lapid under the leadership of Yesh Atid. If he has to - he will not only bring bad things." m, but also the joint list.

Therefore, the decision is very clear, between a Jewish state and a state for all its citizens.

Last week Netanyahu, who was prime minister at the time of the Miron disaster, testified before the State Commission of Inquiry investigating the disaster in which 45 people were killed.

Netanyahu's testimony came at the end of 42 meetings and after hearing the testimony of 143 witnesses.

When asked if he sees himself as responsible for the disaster, Netanyahu said that he takes responsibility for the health issue only.

"If I knew that the decisions that were made were not followed - I would take care of it. But you can't take responsibility for what you don't know."
