Justice Minister Avi Nissenkorn also responded to the threat letter: "The ongoing attack on the justice system is dangerous - and jeopardizes the resilience of the State of Israel. There are judges in Jerusalem and they will continue to do their job fearlessly."
The head of the opposition and chairman Yair Lapid, also expressed the issue, saying: "The threat to the Supreme Court judge is a direct result of the incitement that comes from Netanyahu. It's after his name. "
MK Amir Peretz, Minister of Economy and Industry, also addressed the issue: "There are judges in Jerusalem and should not have any external influence on them, and certainly not threats that must be condemned. We must do everything so that no one, no private person or politician, will threaten judges. When there are threats to judges and threats to journalists Israeli democracy is trembling. A connecting line between the cases, and both as a result of a public atmosphere that we, the elected officials, have to change. "
The head of the Bar, Adv. Avi Haimi: "I strongly condemn threats to Supreme Court Justice Anat Baron. The
judges and law enforcement officials are doing holy work in preserving democracy and any attempt to intimidate them is crossing another red line. To act quickly and put an end to this delusional phenomenon, and I urge the Israeli police to act resolutely to locate the letter senders. "
