2021 Elections – Ohana: “Spokesman – a political player in parties, just not Bibi”

Israel crossed the 6,000 death toll from Corona yesterday after a challenging and shaky year of fighting the virus and the various variants that changed the rules of the game beyond recognition. Homeland Security Minister Amir Ohana This morning (Monday) on Golan Yochpaz and Anat Davidov’s program on 103FM he pointed the finger at the government’s full responsibility for the number of victims of the Corona plague and attacked Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit for disqualifying the use of the slogan “Returning to life” Of the Likud party: “The ombudsman is acting in a conflict of interest, he is a political player in the parties, not just Bibi.”

At the beginning of the interview, the Minister referred to the fact that Israel crossed the 6,000 mark and said that “the information role is of the government and not of the public. Government does not win Corona, public wins Corona while public response to government directives was better I guess and even sure we had far fewer victims, “And every victim is a world in its entirety. We all do better, that’s my opinion. I understand the ‘failure’ of the campaign, but we are the only country in the world.”

At the same time, Ohana said, “We are the only country in the world that allows all its citizens to be vaccinated. We crossed 90% of those aged 50 and over who suffered the most severe morbidity and mortality. Compared to countries our size, we suffered less mortality, Israel suffered less because of health and other causes. “There is one unusual thing, mortality exists all over the world, but we get out of it, we are vaccinated, we get out of this event, but of course we will talk less about that.”

The minister later attacked Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit for disqualifying the use of the slogan “Returning to Life” in the Likud party’s election campaign in light of the claim that it is a slogan of the Ministry of Health and is an apolitical public body, so the Likud cannot use it for an election campaign.
“You can go a step further, he can forbid throwing a sick note at the polls, forbidding Netanyahu to appear on television, forbidding the Likud, which I think first said the ‘coming back to life,’ do you understand the absurdity? The ombudsman has long acted in conflicts of interest, such as A political actor, like a member of a party, just not Bibi. “

Asked whether the ombudsman wants the public not to vote, Ohana replied: “Unequivocally, the ombudsman acts as a political player in parties just not Bibi. Even the decent people who vote ‘only not Bibi’, they also recognize this, but they do not mind.”

“Whoever can oust the ombudsman is the committee that appointed him that should discuss this decision and bring its recommendation to the government, and only then can a dismissal procedure be carried out,” the minister said when asked if he should be ousted if a right-wing government is formed. Q, since he has been in a conflict of interest for a long time, he should have resigned. “Everything he can do so that Netanyahu does not become prime minister, he will do.”

The minister added that “when the ombudsman holds two hats, one the ombudsman and the other the head of the general prosecution and files an indictment as part of an indictment, I think it is wrong and unfounded against the prime minister, from that moment all his future and prestige depend on the prime minister’s conviction and termination.” Because otherwise he will not be able to show his face in public. If the delusional and unfounded indictment ends in acquittal he will not be able to be seen in public after he has dragged the country. When he makes a decision on how and the scope of funding for the prime minister’s defense is conflict of interest, it is clear. He wants to have as little good protection as possible, he wants to convict him. He should have restrained himself and said that he was in a conflict of interest. “

On the investigation into the suspicions against ZAKA chairman Yehuda Meshi Zahav, and for information about the connection between Zahav Zahav and senior police officers, Ohana said that I was the Minister of Public Works and the acting commissioner is no longer in office. ” The person who is authorized to inspect police officers and police officers is DIP. Do I think that repairs should be made in DIP? Yes”.

On the allegations of violence perpetrated against the activists of New Tikva chairman Gideon Saar, by Likud voters, the minister said: “Is throwing an egg severe violence? We are against violence and call on everyone from all parties, from the Likud and all others, to act responsibly. “He added that” Saar is trying to come back to life from the abyss of single-digit numbers and is trying to campaign for the Likud to treat him with severe violence, I do not buy that. I call on everyone to follow the law, okay? In another week, with the help of the name, a good government will be formed under Netanyahu, who will bring peace and calm with it. “
