Member of Knesset Dudi Amsalem (Likud) was interviewed this morning (Wednesday) on the radio here on Monday and addressed the criticism leveled against him following what he said about the president of the Supreme Court Esther Hayut. “There was a lot of hypocrisy and lies, but mostly even an answer about the content of the things I said. Cheeky people talk about my style and tell me how to talk,” he attacked.
When asked if he means the chairman of the opposition Benjamin Netanyahu He replied: “I do not in any way accept that he called to live, it is not right. He has violated the dignity of the national camp.”
“The Likud is the only democratic party. It is clear that you do not imagine that anyone in Lapid or Lieberman would say such things to the head of his party. I told the former prime minister that if he says his personal opinion, it is okay to disagree with me in one way or another.”
Later, Amsalem addressed the question of whether Netanyahu and he could not see eye to eye on the justice system, and replied: “Certainly. We did not just get where we are, it did not happen in one day. 12 years we did not reform the justice system. Netanyahu really maintained the justice system as he said. Aharon Barak, this is not a joke, this is real. “

“I love and appreciate Netanyahu but he also sometimes has to mark his main path. I say unequivocally, I came to the Likud before Netanyahu and I have a certain perception. I do not know what his position is today, we had a struggle with the Ethiopians even then he did not see the Things are in my eyes. “
Asked why Netanyahu is not going against the justice system, the Knesset member replied: “I do not go into this point. I have a huge appreciation for Benjamin Netanyahu. It does not matter why he does not do it, I have no idea.”
He said it had nothing to do with his personal affairs, “It has no relevance, I do not think it has anything to do with this matter at all. There is some mad running and coup d’etat here no matter what he says or does not say. Dismiss a prime minister and harm democracy for no reason.”
