'We are being attacked. I will not be silent'

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu defended his recent criticism targeting the police and the judicial system, saying that he was forced to defend himself from the relentless media attacks against him and his family.

"We are attacked all the time, every hour, every minute," Netanyahu said during a question and answer session with reporters at the United Nations. "The prime minister is also allowed to stand up for justice. I will not be silent, I'm telling the truth."
