The Blue and White Party has responds to the publication of police recommendations to indict Member of Knesset David Bitan on charges of bribery by saying, "Another of Netanyahu's confidants will have to deal with most serious police recommendations."

A party statement continued, "Almost all of Netanyahu's 'hive' is suspected, investigated [and] charged. The spirit of corruption is the spirit of the leadership. It is time for another leadership for which Israel is first and foremost. It's time for a change and we'll bring it."
