Can Iranian threat shield Netanyahu from police investigations?

An additional audience, and perhaps even the most important audience of all, are the officials running Israel’s legal system and law enforcement apparatus. These include Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit, State Prosecutor Shai Nitzan and the prosecutor in charge of the Netanyahu investigations portfolio Liat Ben-Ari. Next to them are also Israel Police Chief Roni Alsheikh, seconded by the heads of the police investigation departments. Netanyahu is also sending them a clear message: I am the only leader capable of leading Israel, at this time. No one can replace me.
