‘His blood is on her head’: Large banner over Tel Aviv highway says AG responsible if anything happens to Netanyahu
A large banner is placed overlooking the highway in Tel Aviv holding Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara responsible if anything should happen to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The sign bears pictures of Netanyahu and Gali Baharav-Miara and reads “His blood (God forbid) is on her head.”
The banner is paid for by Noam, a far-right, one-man party in the coalition known for its homophobic, misogynist and anti-pluralist positions.
The banner is the latest in a series of moves by members of the government against Baharav-Miara that have been condemned as incitement.

Yesterday, in an incendiary post on X, Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi called for her to be fired while invoking principles of Jewish law associated with attempted murder to justify his position.
It comes following an incident in which flares were fired at Netanyahu’s home in Caesarea on Saturday night, with Baharav-Miara accused of failing to tackle violence and incitement from anti-government protesters.
