Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has responded to the arrest of a suspect in the desecration of the grave of Attorney General Avihai Mandelblit's father by noting, "For three years now the left has demonstrated every week in front of the attorney general's house. Left-wing activists harass the attorney general in the synagogue and the grocery store. Now the suspicion is being investigated that they have desecrated his father's grave. Crazy thuggish pressure to indict me at any price."
Writing on Twitter, Netanyahu concluded, "One can only hope that the [legal] adviser [to the government] will not give in to this tremendous pressure."
