Likud MK David Amsellem has come out loud and clear expressing his objections to police questioning Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. He explains that Mr. Netanyahu has been probed over and over again and nothing has come of the slanderous statements against him but the investigation hamper his ability to run the nation.

Using Facebook to get his message out, Amsellem explains he is moving forward with a bill that would prohibit police questioning a ruling Prime Minister. He explains that the fact Mr. Netanyahu is Prime Minister has police checking every move he makes and it has reached the absurd and must be halted.

MK (Yahadut Hatorah) Yisrael Eichler told Kol Berama Radio on Tuesday morning 5 Teves “This is what is necessary in a police state, which this is. The police maintain control and this is the methodology used to stymie or oust a leader, reminiscent of the USSR. Aren’t you aware this is how Israel works” he concluded.

Amsellem adds that the many opponents of the Prime Minister inside and outside of Israel are funding a great deal of effort to leak dirt to the media in an effort to unseat him, citing these efforts are highly motivated. He stated if one wishes to replace a prime minister, one does so in an election, not like this.

The bill is actually an effort to amend the nation’s Basic Law, which is Israel’s constitution, sponsored by Amsellem and Machane Tzioni MK Yoel Hasson.
