Knesset Speaker Yariv Levin claimed that law enforcement authorities, including Spokesman Mandelblit, are pursuing a policy of non-response to incitement against Netanyahu in demonstrations
The Speaker of the Knesset, MK Yariv Levin (Likud), this evening (Sunday) referred to the demonstrations against the Prime Minister, and claimed that law enforcement authorities, including Spokesman Mandelblit, are pursuing a policy of non-response. "The serious incitement to assassinate the Prime Minister requires a decisive response," Levin wrote on Facebook.

Levin wrote that the demonstrations "are being used to disgrace the country's symbols, severe threats of assassination and unprecedented incitement against the prime minister and his family, violent riots, cases of demonstrators attacking themselves by extremists and rallies deliberately ignoring Ministry of Health directives."
"Precisely when we need determination on the part of law enforcement, we encounter a real lack of response on their part, including from the Attorney General," Levin wrote, adding that "it was appropriate for the prosecuting authorities to behave as the police on the ground, who are the only ones to stand up to the violent demonstrations." .
These days are not easy for all of us, so right now we need determination and responsibility, in order to prevent extremists from abusing the situation ...

According to him, "selective enforcement is once again raising its ugly head," the Speaker of the Knesset claimed, emphasizing that "this time it is at the expense of the health and personal security of each and every one of us. Therefore, this is a test time for all law enforcement agencies. They must stop the inaction and act vigorously to protect all Israeli citizens. "

Netanyahu's aides: "Mandelblit lost all control, decided to overthrow the prime minister"
"Demonstrations are very likely to end in blood"
Minister of Internal Security Amir Ohana also spoke on the subject and said in an interview here on Net B that "demonstrations against the government have always been, that's fine. But we forbid people to hold cultural events, pray and do routine things - all to prevent the spread of the corona virus in Israel." . The minister went on to say that he was "concerned about the hatred in the air. Roadblocks have become 'in vogue' and are part of the violence against the public."
This is not Ohana's first statement about the protests. Last week, he was injured with the residents of Balfour Street who live near Netanyahu's residence and at the end of the meeting he said: "Contrary to what was reported in the report, Minister Ohana did not order demonstrations, but instructed the police to examine any way to adopt a law that allows citizens to return to normal life. Examining the possibility of relocating the demonstration site to areas where no residents live. "
