The Likud party made it clear, Tuesday, that there was no coordination between Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Chairman David Amsalem of the Knesset Interior Committee in the drafting of a bill to ban investigation of a prime minister on suspicion of petty crimes. Netanyahu has been linked to a number of investigations of undisclosed scope.
A statement by the party the prime minister heads says Netanyahu had no knowledge of the proposal. It continued, "In any case, the legislation is not retroactive and it's obvious that it does not apply to checks that are already under way."
