In a long-running campaign by the old lefties who dominate Israel’s judiciary, prosecutors and top police officials, charges were wrongly brought against Prime Minister Netanyahu in an effort to remove him from office.
Now the quiet part is being said out loud.
Israel Police and the State Attorney’s Office expected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign from his role after he was charged with bribery, fraud and breach of trust in 2019, former police chief Roni Alsheich admitted in a Wednesday morning interview with Army Radio.
“No one could have guessed that the prime minister would not resign,” Alsheich told Army Radio
It wasn’t the job of the police brass to expect a PM to resign, but this was all about finding any lever for removing Netanyahu from office and restoring power to the Left.
Alsheich also appeared to criticize the conduct of Netanyahu’s Likud party during the course of the prime minister’s criminal trial, saying that he had expected the faction to “say that, for the good of the country, he must step aside and someone else must lead.”
Someone else.
“It was never about the truth, justice or fighting corruption,” Religious Zionist Party MK Ohad Tal wrote on Alsheich. “All they had in mind was to topple the Right and Netanyahu, a de-facto coup d’etat.”
Tal’s faction leader, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, declared a “sad day for the State of Israel” after “many people came together to defeat democracy and complete a coup.
But the coup remains incomplete, That doesn’t mean the Left will stop trying.
Noah Andeark says
Sounds familiar. They couldn’t get President Trump to resign either.
roberta says
I am in no way Israeli or Jewish.
Ive no dog or vote in the fight, but the more they hate on Netanyahu,
the more I like him.
What are they so scared of? How can he be so dangerous?
Jeff Bargholz says
It’s just like with Trump. Netanyahu stands in the way of their war for power.
Daniel Greenfield says
He’s a popular conservative leader and the left hates him. because he took power from them
Mark Granam says
I like Netanyahu.I always have.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Well, yes, common political tactic, file false charges, in order to pressure the candidate to resign from office.
Mickorn says
Totally. The all-powerful Left in Israel had a fool-proof plan: let Netanyahu be PM for twelve years and THEN file fake charges to get him out of power because they couldn’t stand his righteous policies. Genius!
No bribes. No corruption. No lies. Nothing to see here, people. It’s all a witch hunt!
Jeff Bargholz says
The judiciary and the rest of the political left has been after Netanyahu for many years, you stupid ignoramus. They want to remove him by any means necessary, no matter how illegal and underhanded, because they want power.
And yes, Dickorn, all the accusations against him are lies, just as with Trump.
CowboyUp says
Let? Lol, what a maroon. That has to be your lamest response to date.
Daniel Greenfield says
The left has been doing this before Netanyahu even took office.
They were at it in the,90s
Mark Tingler says
Why is what Roni Alsheich admitted to not considered treason via felony prosecutorial misconduct/false charges? Conspiracy to thwart the will of Israel’s electorate by intentionally fabricating criminal charges against the head of state would seem to meet the generally understood definition of treason — that being, giving aid and comfort to a nation’s enemies. Hamas is the sworn enemy of Israel; its originating charter specifies the destruction of Israel as its aim. The leader of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, in 2019 upon hearing word of the criminal indictment against Israeil’s PM, gloated that this emboldens their resistance efforts; Hamas’ “resistance efforts” more honestly described as murderous acts of terrorism upon Israel’s men, women, children, and infants. One would have to possess the prescience and awareness of protozoa to fail to anticipate that this would be the terror group’s response. I live on the other side of the world from the Middle East and have never ventured outside my country and even I knew that would be Hamas’ response. — Mark
Jeff Bargholz says
Alsheich should be prosecuted for treason and every other applicable crime but he didn’t actually admit that the charges against Netanyahu were fabricated
Daniel Greenfield says
He should be but who prosecutes the prosecutors?
Jeff Bargholz says
God, in the end, but that doesn’t help Israel
RS says
Any common sense-balanced-smart-leader that shows honest leadership and has knowledge how to balance the scales with beneficial policies, is a threat to the oligarchs and elites who have one goal, making the world one.
RS says
B.B. is a true leader. Hes smart, tough, and he understands the anti-semetism that rules evil dictators, particularly Iran’s leaders. The elites don’t realize that God will put in place whom he wants to fulfill his purposes. God always has a plan that will prevail over man.
Kasandra says
Gee, the Left using law enforcement institutions to fabricate charges to take out its political opponents. Where have we seen such a thing elsewhere?
