Prime Minister Netanyahu responded to the police announcement recommending he be indicted over Case 4000.
"The police's recommendations regarding me and my wife are not surprising, nor is the transparent timing of their publication. These recommendations were set and leaked before the investigations even began. Police recommendations have no legal status. Only recently, the competent authorities rejected police recommendations against a series of public figures.
"I am sure that even in this case the competent authorities, after examining the matter, will reach the same conclusion - that there was nothing because there is nothing."
