A Likud minister calls for jailing one of the anti-judicial overhaul protest movement’s leading figures.

“Roee Neuman, one of the leaders of the disruptive demonstrations, who publicly calls on demonstrators to come and protest at [Ben Gurion Airport’s main] Terminal 3, contrary to police instructions, must be arrested immediately for sedition and disruption of public order,” tweets Energy Minister Israel Katz.

“That’s how it should be in a state of law.”
