Environment Minister Zev Elkin (Likud) responded to the indictment against Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu.
''I strengthen the Prime Minister at this difficult time. His contribution to the State of Israel, its security and its economy is immense, and he does not deserve the trial of the State of Israel VS Benyamin Netanyahu. Together with about half the citizens of the country, I supported and continue to support him, and would like to remind everyone of the presumption of innocence. I hope the Prime Minister will prove his innocence in court, ”Elkin said.
