Gantz attacks Netanyahu for defaming judicial system in front of Greek PM

FEBRUARY 8, 2021 19:44

Defense Minister and Alternate Prime Minister Benny Gantz criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday for slandering the Israeli judicial system during his meeting with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis earlier Monday.

"This is proof of Netanyahu's compromised judgment," Gantz wrote in a tweet.

"The judges are the only ones who will determine the trial's date, conduct and verdict. Netanyahu, Israel has a strong and honest judicial system, whether you like it or not," he added.

ראש ממשלת ישראל משמיץ את מערכת המשפט שלנו מול ראש ממשלת יוון. זוהי הוכחה לעומק הפגיעה בשיקול הדעת של נתניהו. השופטים ואך ורק הם יקבעו את מועד הדיון, את אופן התנהלותו וגם את פסק הדין. נתניהו, לישראל יש מערכת משפט ישרה וחזקה גם אם זה לא מוצא חן בעינייך.

Gantz was referring to a meeting between Netanyahu and Kyriakos that focused on reaching an agreement that will allow Israeli and Greek tourists to travel to both countries, in light of Israel's successful vaccine rollout.
