Standing alongside four other opposition party chiefs, Labor leader Merav Michaeli accuses the coalition of pushing Israel toward “civil war” through their determination to controversially overhaul the judiciary.
“On the one hand, they make threats about civil war and, on the other hand, push for such a war,” she says, accusing the coalition of “inciting, lying, legislating unilaterally and destructively and inciting us against each other.
“And these are not the citizens who do it, they do it — politicians who care solely for themselves, for their seat, for their corruption, for which they are willing to sacrifice all of us.”
“Stop threatening, and just stop taking us there,” Michaeli says, adding that “this coup is good only for those in power, those who will suffer from it are first and foremost are citizens, from the right and the left.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
