Livni: Rabin's assassination not political
None
Kadima Chairwoman Tzipi Livni responded to the initiative to retroactively acquit Margalit Har-Shefi by denouncing MK participation."As former Justice Minister, I oppose the involvement of members of the Knesset in legal proceedings of private citizens. Moreover, I see the involvement of politicians in this request as unfortunate, as it might turn over the discussion of the murder to the political arena, and it shouldn't be there."
Otniel Schneller of Kadima, one of the MKs behind the initiative, stated around the same that he agreed only to a reexamination of the legal aspect of Har-Shefi's conviction. "From the public aspect, there shouldn't be compromises as to who is guilty in the murder of the prime minister," he said. (Roni Sofer)
