A Justice Ministry spokesman has responded to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's speech by saying, "All the investigation activities carried out in the investigation files relating to the prime minister have been done professionally and thoroughly, accompanied by the Tel Aviv District Attorney (taxation and economics) and under the supervision of the State Attorney and the Attorney General, all according to professional considerations."

The spokesman continued, "It is inappropriate for the law enforcement authorities to relate to the investigative actions and the testimonies in the media, certainly at this stage."
