Likud: State prosecution encouraging ‘violent anarchy’
The Likud party is seething after the state prosecution says police can’t prevent protesters outside of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s home from blocking roads.
“The right to demonstrate does not include the right to block roads and violate police instructions,” the party says, according to the Ynet news site. “This is not what the rule of law and democracy looks like, but rather violent anarchy. It seems everything is kosher when it comes to an attempt to bring down Prime Minister Netanyahu.”
The anti-Netanyahu demonstrations, held twice weekly in Jerusalem, draw thousands.
