PM condemns ‘Death to leftists’ call by backer: ‘Glad the left has grown ears’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Prime Minister’s Office says Benjamin Netanyahu did not hear when a supporter called out “Death to leftists” as he visited a falafel shop in the city of Ramle.
Netanyahu, who has accused the left of ignoring incitement against him at mass protests in recent weeks, tweets: “I’m glad the left has grown ears. I am consistent: I condemn incitement and violence on any side, both outside my home in leftist protests and in the street.”
He adds: “I expect Yair Lapid, Aymen Odeh and leftist leaders to condemn incitement and threats of murder at the protests they are leading against me.”
Odeh and Lapid, notably, are not leading the demonstrations against the prime minister.
