Lapid blames gov’t for shattering of Supreme Court window: ‘Direct result of its incitement’

Opposition Leader Yair Lapid blames the coalition for the shattering of a window at the Supreme Court in Jerusalem, after the judiciary says the window was hit by a projectile fired from an airsoft gun or slingshot at the same time as a right-wing demonstration held outside the court building.

“It was the government who organized the rally,” Lapid says in a statement. “This incident is the direct result of its incitement. I already warned over a month ago: If the prime minister does not stop this, it will end in political murder.”
