Yair Netanyahu, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s eldest son, accuses police brass of engaging in a “rebellion,” in his latest social media outburst.
“It’s important to understand that a few thousand anarchists don’t have the strength to block a single central road,” Yair Netanyahu writes on Twitter, echoing language the premier and government supporters have used to describe the protesters. “The police and prosecutorial brass are the ones actually carrying out the road closures every few days.”
“They are truly responsible for the chaos here,” he adds, accusing them of acting “out of malice.”
He also claims without proof that the Israel Police and State Attorney’s Office are “fully cooperating with the anarchists, at the expense of the Israeli nation.”
