Police detained a Jerusalem man for incitement to violence against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

In social media posts yesterday the man wrote, “We will rebel against Netanyahu and his government and prepare a guillotine for their supporters.”

In another post he wrote: “Rebel against Netanyahu who will meet his end under the guillotine.”

In a third post, he called for sending “a cell to kill Netanyahu and [Public Security Minister Itamar] Ben Gvir.”
