Prime Minister Netanyahu's office commented: "Contrary to the claim of the deputy ombudsman, the chief of staff's conflict of interest agreements, prepared by the legal bureau, did not include the names of witnesses. Furthermore, the legal department, whose role it is to advise the employees of the office so that they do not fail in their duties, did not warn us about any problem and did not direct the attention of the chief of staff to the list of witnesses." "It is unfortunate that the legal department chose not to act in accordance with the Supreme Court's recommendation to issue a warning in cases like these. Contrary to the lie that is repeated - the employees were not fired and remain employed by the Prime Minister's Office."
