MK Aryeh Eldad (National Union), who heads the Knesset Lobby for the Struggle Against Corruption, praised Accountant-General Yaron Zalicha Tuesday for his interview on Voice of Israel radio Tuesday.

“If the Prime Minister and Finance Minister succeed in firing Zalicha, it will be a negative message to all honest civil workers who are considering exposing corruption that they witness,” Eldad said.

Zalicha blew the whistle on Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s role in the Bank Laumi Affair, for which Olmert is being investigated by police.
