One after another, Likud ministers rose for broadcast in the last day with one purpose: to threaten the judges and incite violent statements against the law authorities. It's the only coup attempt that's going on here. Netanyahu and Gantz - It's your duty to go against it and make it clear that you won't let Mendelblit or the court down.

On the other hand, opposition chairman and Yesh Atid head Yair Lapid did not spare criticism from Likud ministers, even in light of allegations of an alleged coup attempt by the trial.
In a tweet posted on Twitter this evening, MK Lapid wrote: "One after the other, Likud ministers rose to broadcast on the last day with one purpose: to threaten the judges and incite violent statements against the law authorities. It's the only coup attempt that's going on here. Netanyahu and Gantz - It's your duty to go against each other and make it clear that you won't let Mendelblit or the court down.
Last Thursday, Minister Dodi Amsalem (Likud) attacked the Attorney General, claiming he was an "alleged offender." Justice Minister Avi Nissenkorn (blue and white) came out in defense of the Supreme Court, tweeting in the Twitter account: "I have complete confidence in the Attorney General. Government ministers are allowed to express a serious criticism, but unrestrained attacks are a crossing of the Red Line. ”
