Itamar Eichner|
The Foreign Ministry announced that the Ambassador to Washington, Dr. Yehiel Leiter, will be summoned for a hearing after harshly criticizing the law enforcement system for 'wearing down Netanyahu who hasn't broken,' the 'malicious' opposition, and left-wing voters who he claims are spreading 'blood libels.' The Ministry's statement said that 'Foreign Ministry Director General Adv. Eden Bar-Tal will summon the Ambassador to Washington for a hearing regarding statements made during a media interview. This is in accordance with the directive of the Head of the Civil Service Commission's Disciplinary Division.'
