Police announce that they have arrested a resident of northern Israel who allegedly called to murder Finance Minister Avigdor Liberman on social media.
Police say they were tipped off several hours ago about a Facebook post written by the suspect in which he called to “eliminate” Liberman.
The 33-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of trying to carry out the act, police say.
Police will ask the court to extend the suspect’s remand tomorrow.
