Amir Ohana: “Mandelblit is fully committed to Netanyahu’s political assassination”

Minister of Internal Security Amir Ohana Talked today (Monday) with Erel Segal and David Wertheim on their program on 103FM about the resumption of the Prime Minister’s trial Benjamin Netanyahu He said: “I believe that injustice has been done to the prime minister’s files. Spokesman Mandelblit is fully committed to Netanyahu’s political assassination.”

Minister of Public Works Amir Ohana, your reference. Today, the Prime Minister’s trial opened, a preliminary hearing is currently underway in the context of the Spokesman’s approvals to open the investigation. Your position?
“I am not physically present there and I was not physically present there today but I am definitely there in my spirit alongside the Prime Minister as over the years when I was a defense attorney I tried to stand by anyone I believe was wronged and so I believe we were done in the prime minister’s files. Unlike the first hearing which was in May, the Corona then I was happily in a completely different situation, today unfortunately it is in a different situation so we call on the public to stay away from gatherings, I think the personal example is definitely worthy in this context. I would have filled the corona and I would certainly have been there. “

Netanyahu is not comfortable with such a picture.
“I do not know such an opinion and as stated stands to our day, if it is inconvenient to someone or yes convenient to someone, here I am telling my truth.”

The cabinet last Thursday by leaking the tapes, you caught the spokesman in his depravity. He bluffed, didn’t he?
“When he said the recent vote and by a majority vote the decision accepted and requested by all professors and doctors of the Ministry of Health had to extend the closure on Sunday until midnight is not valid, I asked why and he said there is my opinion already given that the votes should be private. I said If you are willing to read the law? If you do not do it, I will do it. The government should have established a mechanism that will determine how the votes if there is no equality between the blocs but it did not do so then you create out of nothing. He tells me there is an opinion, I asked him to present it “It turns out that it was not and was not created. There is no opinion, today or yesterday it was forwarded to the government ministers but there was no such opinion.”

How is it a retroactive device? He gave permission to appoint Weissman.
“In my opinion and I think that whoever has his eyes in his head can see this, even the ombudsman is playing a political game, he is entirely committed to the political, legal elimination of the Prime Minister because his prestige is at stake, it is clear that he is interested. “Whoever submits indictments in the State of Israel mixes with his endless ability to make decisions and decisions contrary to the government’s position, you see a conflict of interest that is not clear from him.”

Why did he cancel the bribery recommendations filed by the police?
“I think it takes a great deal of opacity not to understand that from the moment he decides to file an indictment in my eyes he is unfounded, even for what was filed, and could have been more absurd had he gone all the way, but once he has decided to file, his prestige is at stake. For him, it is a disaster and Netanyahu will be acquitted of the indictment. You understand that he will not be able to show his face in public after what he has dragged the State of Israel into in recent years. I would expect that when he filed the indictment he would resign because he could not be the spokesman. Has committed such serious offenses, there is a conflict of interest. I do not deny his authority to file an indictment, that is his authority, but fairness requires that at the same time as the indictment, the Attorney General of Israel, who is supposed to help the government succeed in all its functions, also submit his letter of resignation. There are others who can do the job. The glorious legal system of the State of Israel will not collapse into itself if Avichai Mandelblit does not head the general prosecution. But since he did not do so, we, the public, must reveal the built-in conflict of interest and say the things. “

According to all experts we are just before the ceasefire.
“I think that Netanyahu’s opponents who heard the same parts that were revealed from the cabinet meeting understand that the one who makes the difficult and unpopular decisions is actually Netanyahu and we Likud members because closure is not a popular thing, we all have a hard time, some have a harder time because their livelihood depends on these closures, but When you see dozens of dead every day and more than a thousand critically ill, you realize that there is no escape from extending the closure, no matter how difficult it is.I have no explanation for the horseshoe rotation that Bnei Gantz made during these months, he made sure to go with the doctors and experts of the Ministry of Health. “If you want to pass the blocking percentage, that’s what needs to be done, because that’s what the public wants to hear come out of the quarantine, even though the morbidity data do not allow it, contrary to what the experts said, just vote against.”

It can be said that Netanyahu wants to tighten the blockade so that in the run-up to the election he will thaw it and win the public’s sympathy.
“We have been in closures for a year now, a third closure right now that we came out of it, not during the election period. Why? Because we want the morbidity to go down, we want to save lives and save the public. But having elections or no elections does not change that. “It’s great about vaccines, it will take another 7 years for the world to get out of the corona and in Israel in two months, we are working for the benefit of the public all the time.”

The public does not already express its confidence in the polls.
“I disagree with you, the largest party by a considerable margin from the next party in line after more than 30 seats in almost every poll is the Likud. The next party after not at the level of 20.”

Why does the closure not work?
“The majority of the public obeyed the guidelines. If the majority of the public did not obey we would see a much higher morbidity and the quarantine would not work. But the quarantine works because with the British mutation raging in Israel and around the world we were able to stabilize the number of new patients daily. The majority of the public does obey the instructions and I would like the entire public to obey the instructions because they save lives. “

There were traffic jams as a result of people being out of the house.
“The big difference between this removal and the previous closures, in the first closure there was panic and over time there was a loosening of public discipline, there was fatigue, it’s human. I’m sorry for that but it’s human and I can understand it. Soon with the name if most of the public gets vaccinated Also allow ourselves to facilitate the public, release, open restaurants, theaters, places that have gatherings subject to people being vaccinated with the green passport.I asked the Ministry of Health to prepare my program, I am against forcing vaccines and sanctions because there is autonomy of the person on his body but when someone is not vaccinated He needs to acknowledge that there are things he will not be able to do. “

The Prime Minister made a move that connected Smutrich with Ben Gvir. How can you support a weak half-mouth on this thing?
“All lovers of LGBTs of all kinds. I certainly oppose anyone who expresses homophobic views, and unfortunately there are already some in the Knesset in the ultra-Orthodox parties, in the Arab parties, in the two blocs, unfortunately for the rabbi. I very much hope that we go through a positive process in society on this issue. I call on the public not to vote for Smutrich and not for Ben Gvir but for the Likud, the liberal national party led by Netanyahu for the many achievements it has brought. The Netanyahu government, with its right-wing extremists and ultra-Orthodox, has brought the most budgets to the LGBT bodies.
