Justice Minister Yariv Levin issues a statement denouncing the shattering of a window at the Supreme Court during a protest against the judiciary that he addressed.

“Violence of any type is grave and unacceptable,” he says.

The court authorities have said that the window was shattered by fire from an air rifle or a slingshot.

The statement comes shortly after an interview Levin gave to the Kan public broadcaster in which he claimed Supreme Court President Isaac Amit isn’t the chief justice and said he doesn’t recognize Amit’s authority.
