A spokesperson for MK Almog Cohen says the Otzma Yehudit lawmaker was not at home when part of his home caught fire earlier today, and is unscathed.
A picture sent out by the MK’s office shows a closed-in balcony at Cohen’s home in the southern city of Ofakim with significant fire damage to walls and furniture.
The spokesman notes that the fire is not being investigated as a possible arson, but does not give a cause for the blaze.
Cohen, a former cop, is considered among the most extreme lawmakers in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition.
