Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party says it has filed a police complaint against Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai, accusing him of inciting to violence and to civil disobedience.

Earlier today, Huldai told Channel 13 news that “dictatorships only become democratic again with bloodshed. That is the history of the world.”

Huldai later tweeted that he had intended to warn of bloodshed, not encourage it: “In the interview, I spoke about a painful historic truth. The responsibility for preventing bloodshed lies with those who make decisions in the Knesset and are turning Israel into a dictatorship.”
