State Prosecutor Shai Nitzan participated in the Bar Association conference in Eilat,

"We are now sailing in turbulent, very turbulent waters, one of the components of the storm is the Prime Minister's cases - I must address the false and untrue allegations against the law enforcement systems and their heads, attributing foreign considerations to them."

"Some claim that we are giving the prime minister too much time, and claim too little. We do not intend to deprive the prime minister and give his representatives too little time to prepare, but there is no reason to demand that we delay when there is no real reason for this. Six months is a perfectly reasonable time to prepare for a hearing."
