Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told the Likud Knesset faction, Monday, that media coverage of the criminal investigations against him "is not a matter of editorial ('aricha in Hebrew), considerations but decapitation ('arifa in Hebrew) considerations."
Referring to transcripts of conversations he allegedly had with Yediot Ahronot publisher Noni Mozes and to the evening news, Netanyahu continued, "I would like to say to all the readers of the transcripts, here's another transcript for you at eight o'clock. 'Bibi: It will not help you. I intend to lead the Likud and the state."
