Over the past few weeks, investigations in cases involving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or his associates have been stepped up. And with this increased investigation rhythm, Netanyahu’s associates also sharpened their messages condemning the media and the police for allegedly persecuting the prime minister. These messages and continuous pressure apparently took their toll on police Commissioner Roni Alsheikh, who decided last week to publicly react.
Sadly, the brief interview that Alsheikh gave to Yedioth Ahronoth, which was published Nov. 12, played into the hands of Netanyahu and his representatives in the Likud Party.
