Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed the dismissal of the indictment in the Sde Teiman affair, stating: "The blood libel against the fighters of Force 100, which defamed Israel in the world in an unprecedented manner, has come to an end. It is unacceptable that it took so long to close a case that was conducted criminally against IDF soldiers who are confronting the worst of our enemies. The State of Israel must pursue its enemies and not its heroic fighters."
