Yediot: Netanyahu’s call to demonstrate in front of the judiciary is reminiscent of the call to storm Congress
Netanyahu: Come with all your friends to the Judicial Ministry
Jerusalem24 – Officials in the Israeli judiciary protested against the calls of the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, to demonstrate in front of the Judicial Ministry headquarters, claiming that Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit is obstructing the implementation of his economic plan.
Today, Monday, Israeli media quoted officials as saying that Netanyahu’s call “reminds them of the call for demonstrators to surround the Capitol,” in reference to the attack of supporters of the former US President Donald Trump, against of Congress.
Netanyahu had claimed during his meeting with business owners, during an election round, that Mandelblit was preventing the approval of the donation plan, due to its timing on the eve of the elections. “Come with all your friends to the Judicial Ministry,” Netanyahu told one of those present at the meeting.
The Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper quoted Netanyahu as telling the cafe owner, “They say this is an election economy. How impudent are they not giving us this?”
“W
work,” he added. “Legal advisers and Gantzians (according to Benny Gantz) of all kinds are not allowing this to happen.”
“In all cases, the aim is to incite against Mandelblit,” Yediot Aharonot quoted a judicial official as saying. Parts of the plan that will be written off for legal reasons will be portrayed as a desire on the part of Netanyahu to provide a benefit to the people, while the advisor will be portrayed as an evil man. Part of the incitement against the counselor and the judiciary on the eve of the proof phase in the prime minister’s trial. “
