The firing of flares at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private residence in Caesarea constitutes only the latest “link in a chain of violent and anarchistic actions, the purpose of which is to bring about the assassination of the prime minister and the overthrow of the elected government by means of a violent coup,” claims Justice Minister Yariv Levin.
The Likud deputy premier charges such behavior has gone on for two years “under the auspices of the law enforcement authorities’ selective enforcement,” which he accuses the High Court of Justice of having sanctioned.
“Since the establishment of the government, I have been fighting to fundamentally change things,” including the composition of the Supreme Court, Levin continues, referring to the government’s since-halted judicial overhaul program, which he says must be revived.
“The time has come for all the members of the coalition, all the factions and all the members of the Knesset, to announce, as one man, their unequivocal support for the moves I led and were stopped, and for any other move necessary to change the situation,” he says.
“The time has come to lend full support to rehabilitating the justice and law enforcement systems, and to put an end to anarchy, chaos, insubordination and attempts to harm the prime minister.”
