MK Shlomo Karai(Likud) refers to Prime Minister Netanyahu's request for immunity.
"Immunity is not an escape from the law. Immunity is designed to protect the public's interest against the persecution of his elected officials and is for the term of office only. It is clear to everyone that a witch hunt is being conducted against the Prime Minister with a view to overthrowing the right-wing government. Even the High Court did not hold back and convened an anti-democratic debate on whether to listen to the voice of the people who want Netanyahu or not. At this time, it is appropriate to postpone the court case and not allow a legal coup. It is appropriate to grant immunity and to protect Netanyahu from the left, the media and the prosecutor's office," said Karai.
