Bibi's Insistence
Made Trouble

MICHIGAN'S PREMIERE FIREPLACE & BBQ SHOWROOM

ISRAEL CORRESPONDENT

Among the key questions cited
by Attorney General Elyakim
Rubinstein and State Attorney
Edna Arbel was why the prime
minister was so insistent upon
appointing Ronni Bar-On as at-
torney general against the ad-
vice of his chief legal advisers,
David Shim, Yitzhak Molcho
and Cabinet Secretary Danny
Naveh, despite the opposition of
Supreme Court Chief Justice
Aharon Barak and despite the
warnings of Aryeh Deri's attor-
ney, Dan Avi Yitzhak, that
there was an improper "con-
nection" between Deri [current-
ly on trial on criminal charges]
and candidate Bar-On.

"Mistakes
were made
by me ...
but I did not
commit any
crime."

— Binyamin Netanyahu

Arbel wrote in her section of
the report: "Our conclusion is
that there exists a concrete sus-
picion that the prime minister
proposed to the government the
appointment of Attorney Bar-
On to the position attorney gen-
eral solely, or inter alia, in order
to placate MK Deri, while being
conscious of, or turning a blind
eye to, the possibility of an un-
acceptable connection between
Deri and Bar-On."
Rubinstein noted that it
cannot be proven in court that
Netanyahu had "internalized"
Avi-Yitzhak's warning about
the connection between Deri
and Bar-On but added that,
considering the broader cir-
cumstances, he should have un-
derstood the point. When Avi
Yitzhak told Netanyahu of a
rumor that Deri had a promise
from Bar-On [to allow him
a plea bargain], the prime min-
ister ascribed no importance to
it.
Rubinstein surmised that
Netanyahu may have failed to
grasp Yitzhak's warning
because he lacks experience
in his position or was weighed
down by affairs of state. Never-
theless, he concluded, "the
shadows cast by MK Deri's pres-
sure to appoint Bar-On hover,
even if insufficient evidence ex-
ists to indict [the prime minis-
ter]." ❑
