Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has condemned threats against Justice Anat Baron, and linked them to cases in which social media users said the premier should be killed.

“There should be zero tolerance toward anyone who threatens to murder judges and elected officials alike,” Netanyahu says at the opening of Sunday’s cabinet meeting.

“This month alone I have filed three police complaints over murder threats against me and my family,” he said. “I call on police to act quickly and forcefully to eradicate the phenomenon of incitement — it has no place among us.”
