Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu this morning (Monday) rejected the words of his son, Yair Netanyahu, who said yesterday that senior prosecutors and the police "betrayed the country".
"I love Bnei Yair who is an independent person with his own opinions. Although everyone has the right to express criticism, I did not agree with the things he said that were published yesterday," Netanyahu tweeted.
Yair Netanyahu said yesterday in his regular segment on Radio Gali Israel, that the senior prosecutors and the police betrayed the country, and therefore they should be given "a punishment other than prison".
This, according to him, is because they "tried to sew a case for a prime minister elected by the people", thus trying to stage a governmental coup.
"Every week, for two years, we discover another criminal offense, and yet another criminal offense, allegedly committed by the top officials in the prosecutor's office and the police," Netanyahu said at the end of the program with "If You Want" CEO Matan Peleg and Guy Liu from the "315" project. "Each of the criminal offenses That's five years in prison, we've already reached ten thousand years in prison for the criminal offenses they committed."
After that, Netanyahu continued and accused the senior prosecutors of treason. "In the end, this was a malicious coup d'état.
Not with tunnel vision and not with all this nonsense, they knew that they were sewing up an innocent man, who happens to be the prime minister elected by the Israeli people," Yair said, adding that "that means they are canceling the choice of the Israeli people, a democratic choice.
It's called treason.
And everyone is invited to enter the law book of the State of Israel and look at what the punishment is for treason, and it's not prison, only I will say it."
