Ben Ari blames Knesset ban on Justice Ministry ‘junta’ led by Mandelblit
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleMichael Ben Ari condemns the High Court decision to ban him from the upcoming elections as undemocratic, and the result of a “legal junta” led by Attorney General Avichai Mandelbit has taken over Israel.
“This isn’t a democracy,” he tells journalists after the court ruling. “The legal junta took power, and are trying to control our lives.”
Ben Ari also directs remarks at Tamar Zandberg, whose Meretz party petitioned the court against his candidacy.
“You won’t be able to suppress us. You who embraces terrorists and murders, your path is short, but ours will win,” he says.
