Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked lawmakers to redraft the police silencing bill so that it will not apply to the investigations against him. The bill would limit the police’s ability to issue recommendations on the indictment of public officials after an investigation.
Netanyahu’s announcement comes a day after tens of thousands of people rallied in protest on Saturday night in Tel Aviv against the bill and government corruption, and against the backdrop of growing criticism against the bill.

“Unfortunately, the debate over the recommendations bill has turned into a political weapon against an elected government,” Netanyahu said in a Facebook post. “It is obvious anyway that the police recommendations in my case are meaningless,” he wrote. “It seems they were decided on at the start of the investigation, leaked throughout, and haven’t changed despite the clear facts presented time and time again – proving there was nothing.”
