Likud members instructed to attack state prosecution — report
Likud lawmakers have been instructed to attack the state prosecution in response to its legal opinion on protests outside of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s home, the Haaretz daily reports.
The report comes after the party accuses the state prosecution of stoking “violent anarchy” and seeking to topple Netanyahu.
In the opinion publicized earlier, legal officials said protesters should not be placed on trial for illegal gatherings or disturbances. It also said charges should not be filed for blocking traffic unless it’s a main thoroughfare and the protest action lasts a long time.
