Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slams recent calls that appeared to back political assassination as a valid way to oppose the government.
“Democracy is majority control, not control by rifle,” Netanyahu says from the Knesset podium, denouncing calls for political murder as crossing a “bright red line.”

The pilot later recanted his statements and apologized.
