The heads of the coalition parties today (Monday) signed a special letter to the ombudsman for the government against the discussion they claim she is holding on the issue of the fortifications.

"Recently, several reports were published in the media according to which you are holding discussions regarding the possibility of "taking out" the Prime Minister of Israel for "imprisonment". To our astonishment, you have not denied the publications until this moment. An attempt to declare or announce the impeachment of an incumbent leader constitutes a clearly illegal attempt to depose him and overthrow an elected and legal government, without a fraction of authorization by law.

No legal trick will stand against the obvious in all reformed countries: a prime minister is elected by the majority of the people and their representatives.

The majority of Israeli citizens elected the coalition parties and the Prime Minister only a few months ago.

The Knesset, as the representative of the sovereign, gives confidence in the government and the prime minister.

Therefore, no party has the authority to depose the Prime Minister and overthrow the legal government, except for the people and their representatives and according to an express law.

Any other assertion is clearly illegal and a black flag flies over it.

We therefore see such discussions, as far as they take place, as an attempt at a legal coup that lacks authority and is clearly illegal, whether it is aimed at the future or whether it is aimed at the present time.

It is no different from an attempted coup by a disobedient military man.

The people, their elected officials and the government of Israel will never accept a decision without authority, which means canceling the elections at the polling stations, canceling the democratic regime and illegally overcoming the sovereignty of the people and its representatives.

The paper on which such a decision is written will be worthless.

He will never overcome the power of the millions of paper ballots with which the people voted."

The letter was signed by: Yariv Levin, on behalf of Likud, Aryeh Deri, Chairman of Shas, Bezalel Smotritz, Chairman of Religious Zionism, Itamar Ben Gabir, Chairman of Otzma Yehudit, Yitzhak Goldknopf, Chairman of Agudath Israel, Moshe Gafni , Chairman of the Torah Flag, Avi Maoz, Chairman of Noam.
