Opposition leader Yair Lapid responds to MK Zvika Fogel’s call to have him arrested for treason.
“This is how democracy falls apart, in a day,” he says. “Ben Gvir says to use water cannons against our protesters, MK Fogel says Gantz and I should be arrested and thrown in jail for treason, and in Beersheba, a man tries to run over students [who support us] for rallying and making use of their right to free speech.”
“We will not allow ourselves or our beloved country be overrun.”
