Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s office says he has received a threatening letter bearing Nazi symbols, as the country marks Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Smotrich’s office publishes images of the English-language letter, which accuses the far-right minister of “keeping the historical cycles alive: victim becomes victimizer.”
“Are you ready for when the wheel takes another turn?” the sender asks, calling him a “mother-fucking idiot” and concluding: “You intend to destroy Israel.”
Smotrich’s office says a special unit under the Prime Minister’s Office tasked with the security of government ministers has opened an investigation.
