The heat in the demonstrations in recent weeks is reaching new heights - and the Minister of Internal Security warns: "It will end in blood." In an extensive interview to be published tomorrow in the "Shishvat" supplement, Minister Amir Ohana refers to the demonstrations, his vote against the coalition in the Conversion Treatments Law, his resignation from the Knesset, the recordings of the confrontation with the commissioner - and the alleged construction offenses of Adv. Liat Ben-Ari.

Regarding the fervor surrounding the demonstrations against the government, Minister Ohana says: "There will be no civil war but increasing violence - yes. There is an atmosphere of hatred in these demonstrations. Not of controversy, controversy has always been and always will be, this time there is a feeling of intense hatred between the parties. I hope I'm wrong, but in my opinion, it will end in blood. "

He adds that "there is a mixed audience there with many kinds of statements of protest: there is 'enough for the occupation' and 'peace now', 'justice for Iyad' and 'justice for the self-employed' but there are also more violent things. There was a video of someone being asked where "Netanyahu's house and she says 'on the ground'. People shouting 'traitor' have become the ones who express themselves relatively softly. There are explicit calls for the assassination of the prime minister." According to him, the demonstrations are encouraged by the media. "Live reports from the demonstrations, headlines in the newspapers, write about several thousand demonstrators 'state in protest'. They are not even mandated, how do you write 'state in protest' ?!"

Ohana refers to the difficult exchange between him and Acting Commissioner General Moti Cohen, in which he claimed a different attitude on the part of the police between the demonstrations against Netanyahu, and demonstrations such as those of the ultra-Orthodox or Ethiopians. "The relationship between us is excellent. We talk a lot. I think he erred both in the substance of the matter and in the form of expression," says Ohana.



Regarding the conduct of the police command, he adds: "If the treatment of all demonstrations was the same, I would give a score of 100. My feeling, and especially of the public, is that the demonstrations are treated differently and unequally. That is, in front of ultra-Orthodox, Arab, settlers and Ethiopians "More, and when it comes to demonstrations that receive media backing and media encouragement, the attitude is different."

This week he resigned from his position as MK and thus will prevent himself from facing votes that conflict between his conscience order and coalition discipline, as happened last week with the Conversion Therapy Law. "I have never voted in matters of LGBTs contrary to my conscience order. "My partner, against my family, against my friends. There are red lines."

Appears: Appointment from within

Ohana, who was Minister of Justice until a few months ago, is again attacking the Mandelblit in the wake of his struggle with the prime minister. "He is fully invested in the political assassination of the prime minister," the minister claims, "he understands that if Netanyahu is entitled to trial he will not be able to stay. One moment in public life. It will be a sign of disgrace forever on his forehead. "

Referring to publications in "Israel Today" about the alleged construction offenses committed by Adv. Liat Ben-Ari, the attorney general in the Netanyahu cases, Ohana says: "When I saw the exposure of Kinneret in my head, Erel Segal and Akiva Bigman about the offenses allegedly committed by her, Because I remember what the prosecution's position was on all the people convicted of construction offenses: how they decided not to pardon them, not to forgive them, not to forgive them. In general, how whoever is supposed to head the prosecution team of the most significant case in the country has the audacity and courage to hide excuses and twists After such exposure? Shame. "

Regarding the search for a commissioner, which is expected to end in the coming weeks, Ohana emphasizes that all possibilities are open and that he is "not looking for Yes-Man" as he says. Against this background, Israel Today learned yesterday that he tends to recommend appointing a police officer However, the possibility of appointing a retired superintendent has not yet been dropped.
