The former prime minister also called Mandelblit “unworthy,” “a disgrace,” and concluded by calling upon the attorney-general to “come to [his] senses.”Barak has publicly attacked Mandelblit since the Harpaz Affair, which went on for more than four years. That case was an alleged plot by Boaz Harpaz to illegally undermine then-defense minister Barak’s choice of Yoav Galant to succeed Gabi Ashkenazi as IDF chief of staff, as part of a battle between Barak and Ashkenazi that allegedly involved spying and spreading misinformation about the other.The Likud filed a complaint on Saturday night against Barak for the disruption of legal proceedings, claiming his comments were a clear attempt at extortion. It is understood that Mandelblit does plan to indict Netanyahu in case 1000, the so-called “illegal gifts affair,” and case 4000, the “Bezeq-Walla affair.”אם מנדלבליט ינסה לסגור את תיק 2000 בניגוד להמלצת *כל* אנשי הפרקליטות *וכל* חוקרי המשטרה (חוץ מנזרי ואייסמן) תהיה לפנינו ראיה חזקה להעדר קיצוני של נקיון דעת. אם בגצ לא יתערב תידרש ועדת חקירה ממלכתית. אדם לא ראוי. הוא כבר מרח כך את תיקי המעונות. חרפה ובזיון. מנדלבליט - נא להתעשת! pic.twitter.com/xOOYQVLXwn
