Defense Minister Naftali Bennett (New Right) responded to the indictment that was filed against Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust.
''A painful night for the people of Israel. Many feel that Prime Minister Netanyahu, a man who has dedicated his entire life for the State of Israel, does not deserve what happened this evening. On this evening, it is important to remember his great rights. He is the prime minister of the State of Israel, and he has presumption of innocence. During this turbulent period, we will continue to keep Israel safe, united and strong,” Bennett said.
