JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel has lashed out at the country’s police chief, whom he accused of airing "delusional
and mendacious" insinuations against him, just days before the police are expected to publish recommendations regarding potential charges against Mr. Netanyahu in two corruption investigations, possibly including bribery.
"A large shadow has been cast this evening over the police investigations and recommendations in the case of Prime Minister Netanyahu," he added.
Mr. Netanyahu has already tried to prepare the public for the likelihood
that the police will recommend charges, suggesting that such a move would be meaningless, since, he said, only about half of police recommendations resulted in formal charges.
Netanyahu wrote that Any fair-minded person will ask themselves how people who say such delusional things about
the prime minister can investigate him objectively and make recommendations in his case without bias,
