Likud MK suspected of rape calls allegations against him 'lies' and 'blood libel'

Likud MK and suspected rapist Hanoch Milwidsky denies the allegations against him in a post on X.

Milwidsky, who is being investigated by police on suspicion of rape and witness tampering, says he is cooperating with investigators, and accuses some people of using the allegations to try to thwart his appointment to the Knesset’s Finance Committee earlier this week.

“It is important for you to know: The events over which I was questioned occurred many years ago, and the details were published in a series of television reports starting in 2017 and were known to everyone, including the Israel Police. So why have I not been questioned until now? The answer is infuriatingly simple: The acts attributed to me do not constitute a criminal offense! That’s it, easy, simple, and clear,” he claims.

He says the allegations, which are being spread by “several female Knesset members who have lost their way,” are “a blood libel!!”
