Zionist Union MK accuses Jewish Home MK of incitement

Zionist Union MK Yoel Hasson files a complaint against Jewish Home MK Moti Yogev for his remarks he made calling for a bulldozer to knock down the High Court of Justice for its decision to demolish buildings in Beit El.

Yogev on Wednesday morning told Army Radio, “We need to put the blade of a D-9 [bulldozer] in front of the Supreme Court. It’s time we put the head judge in her place and show her who’s the majority.”

“Following his statements, I demand that every statutory tool possible be used against him,” Hasson writes in his statement.

“MK Yogev is attempting to injure democracy with his wild and unambiguous incitement,” Hasson adds. “Instead of calming the storm and calling for the protesters to respect the rule of law, MK Yogev is calling for out-and-out violence.”
