Jerusalem man arrested for incitement, calling to ‘kill’ the attorney general
A Jerusalem resident has been arrested for incitement against Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, the Israel Police says.
The Kan public broadcaster shares video footage of the incident that led to his arrest. In the clip, a man seemingly dressed in ultra-Orthodox garb holds a sign that reads: “Lord of the universe, kill Gali Baharav-Miara and her supporters.”
The incident took place in the middle of a busy street across from the Jerusalem Central Bus Station.
Kan adds that police will seek to extend the suspect’s detention after apprehending him earlier this morning.
