Legal Adviser to the Government Gali Beharev Miara and State Attorney Amit Isman this evening (Thursday) ordered the police in a dramatic step to open an investigation against Prime Minister Sara Netanyahu’s wife and others close to her. The announcement states that “an investigation must be opened on suspicion of witness harassment and obstruction of justice in connection with the findings of the Ovda program.” Sara Netanyahu’s name was not mentioned in the message itself.
The suspicion of witness harassment is in the context of Hadas Klein, the key witness in the 1000 case who filed a complaint against Sara Netanyahu after the program. The journalist who prepared that investigation, Sefi Ovadia, will be asked to voluntarily give the phone number of Hani Bliwis, who passed away, in order to access the correspondence between her and Sarah Netanyahu. A police source claimed that “the appeal to us to open an investigation was made shortly before the public prosecutor’s announcement in the media.”
Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir once again attacked Beharev Miara and said: “It is amazing that even though the ombudsman does not stop at Adom, and continues to persecute the ministers of the government, and now the prime minister’s wife – the issue of distrust towards the ombudsman does not come up at the upcoming cabinet meeting with various excuses Those who persecute government ministers and their families politically cannot continue to serve as the legal adviser to the government His head is in the sand and refuses to understand it.”
Communications Minister Shlomo Karai also attacked the ombudsman, claiming that it was a “desperate effort to prevent her impeachment”. After two years in which she thwarted government decisions and acted against the government and its policies on almost every issue, she is now creating delusional events such as the demand for the dismissal of Ben Gabir and now Mrs. Netanyahu, in order to create a false representation as if it were a personal matter.”
Karai also added that “the political consultant will not succeed. The procedure in her case will progress one way or another. The Israeli government deserves an objective and professional legal advisor that can be worked with and not an actual opposition chairman. home”.
In the complaint filed by Hadas Klein, she wrote that the investigation shows that “Mrs. Netanyahu committed acts that allegedly constitute the criminal offenses of obstruction of justice and harassment of a witness.” She asked that the investigation not be conducted by the police, in light of the allegations that arose from the investigation also against the Commissioner, who maintained a “long-standing friendly relationship”, as he put it, with Blewis, who was very close to the Netanyahu couple. However, it is still unclear who will investigate Sara Netanyahu.
Hadas Klein further claimed that from the text messages revealed in the investigation, the suspicion arises that the campaign of defamation and threats directed against her was allegedly carried out by Sara Netanyahu and aides on her behalf.
Member of Knesset Naama Lazimi (Democrats) said after the publication of the Speaker’s and State Attorney’s announcement that “this is an important update – no people are exempt from the law. Even if they threaten the system.” According to her, “Last Friday I contacted them in Hall regarding the issue following the investigation by Sefi Ovadia and the Ovda system, and on Sunday we already issued an operation of about 1,500 complaints to the police.
“Justice must be done and the public will be on guard for that to happen,” she added. “We must clean up the political rot that destroys every good part here. Sarah Netanyahu will come to a police investigation following the criminal acts that were revealed.”
The same investigation that was published allegedly revealed how the Prime Minister’s wife orders to “take care” of those she has labeled as her opponents, and also the relationship between Yair Netanyahu and right-wing activist Orli Lev, who gave him personal details about members of the bereaved Farkash family. The investigation actually revealed that the protest held by right-wing activist Orli Lev in front of the home of the bereaved Farkash family, in which Likud activists cursed her, was initiated by Sara Netanyahu. Anti-Netanyahu protest activists hinted even then that the order for this came from Netanyahu’s house, but the Prime Minister’s son, Yair, denied this.
It was also revealed that Sara Netanyahu sent messages with direct instructions to “handle” the main prosecutor in the Netanyahu cases, Liat Ben Ari, and even provided harsh statements about the former Attorney General, Avichai Mandelblit: “Dictator, maniac, we must fight him.” According to the investigation, Netanyahu was not content with that, but also organized demonstrations against the individuals connected to the Prime Minister’s files. In addition, she demanded that Levis and Yonatan Urich spread venomous messages against them and against Netanyahu’s opponents through the accounts of his supporters, including fictitious accounts, on social networks.
