Likud minister rebukes cops for forcibly removing Yesh Atid MK from anti-Netanyahu protest

A minister from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party rebukes police for forcibly removing an opposition lawmaker from a protest encampment outside the premier’s official residence in Jerusalem.

“I have a deep ideological disagreement with MK [Yorai Lahav Hertzanu] and his [Yesh Atid] party and of course I have no sympathy for the protests at Balfour. But there’s no place for behavior like this by the Israel Police toward a Knesset member and is completely contrary to the immunity of Knesset members,” Ze’ev Elkin writes on Twitter.
