Meretz chairwoman Tamar Zandberg also weighed in on the war of words, saying that Likudniks need to be "ready to be humiliated" for Netanyahu."What will they tell themselves when this is all over? 'I was a rug that the prime minister wiped his feet on,'" she told Army Radio. "There is a prime minister suspected of bribery and the law enforcement system stands on trial. It would appear these elections are about the future of Netanyahu, not the future of the State of Israel."Coalition head, MK David Bitan told Army Radio that it's certain that every recommendation by the attorney-general will strengthen the Likud's position."The public does not believe in the investigation and its outcome, " he said.
MK Mickey Levy (Yesh Atid) also responded to Amsalem's attack on Alsheich."[From] the depth of the investigations, the height of the attacks - Netanyahu and his emissaries lost all the brakes and attacked all law enforcement agencies just like the last criminals," Levy said.
He said that the crude attacks on the former police commissioner "are a disgrace and an attempt to threaten the attorney-general and prevent him from making a decision on Netanyahu's corruption affairs.""The public is not stupid, they understand that when someone is a suspect that person blames everyone but himself," Levy said. "These attacks will not help them and will not deter Attorney-General Avichai Mandelblit, who is honest and fair and will make his decisions according to his conscience."
Assaf Hefetz, also a former police commissioner, said in an interview with 103 FM that "Alsheich tried to protect the law enforcement system, the leaks, the independence of the police and integrity. He did not tell Mandelblit what to do. The legal adviser acts according to evidence."
