Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Mossad chief Meir Dagan have spoken out against punishing MK Tzachi Hanegbi who has been convicted of perjury, Ynet has learned.
Netanyahu sent a letter to Jerusalem Magistrates' Court, which is dealing with Hanegbi's case, in which he noted that "the state will benefit if MK Hanegbi is permitted to continue to take on public roles." Dagan sent a letter to Hanegbi in which he expressed his hope that the court would take Hanegbi's public service into account and the fact that it is important that "people like you" continue to serve in public office.
