Justice Minister Daniel Friedmann on Monday dismissed the claims that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert needs to quit due to the police recommendation that he be indicted on charges including bribery and fraud.
"There were police recommendations regarding previous prime ministers, but I don't remember such claims ever being made," he told Army Radio.
"In the current case, we have heard discussions the likes of which we have never heard before, neither regarding a prime minister nor anyone else. I want to remind everyone that four previous prime ministers were investigated and there were also recommendations to try them. Why must we behave differently today? Moreover, Knesset laws dictate when a prime minister needs to resign and when he doesn't," continued the justice minister.
