Netanyahu to the heads of the coalition: to avoid statements that will fuel the protest Israel today

Prime Minister Netanyahu asked yesterday (Sunday) at the meeting of the heads of the coalition factions to calm down the statements and not to create storms that would fuel the protest regarding the legal reform.

Netanyahu asked the leaders of the political parties to convey this message to the members of the Knesset in the various factions.

Netanyahu's office refused to comment on the matter.

This morning at the meeting of the Constitution Committee, the Likud faction leaders asked the party's Knesset members not to react in an extreme manner to the opposition's shouts in the committee.

Recently, Netanyahu finds himself putting out many fires in the coalition.

Just this week, precisely within the Prime Minister's faction, an uproar arose following the words of MK Tali Gottlieb, who accused the President of the Supreme Court of the terrible attack that took place in the Ramot neighborhood of Jerusalem, in which three people, including two children, were murdered.

"I blame the President of the Supreme Court for the attack. I blame her for the sense of chaos in the people of Israel. I blame her for the destruction and severe damage to democracy and the rule of law. She intimidated the right-wing government. Not the reform. So what if there is chaos here, so what if our enemies turn on us because they recognize a weakness In our neighborhood, everything is kosher on the way to overthrowing a right-wing government," Gottlieb tweeted.

In response to the storm created by her words, Prime Minister Netanyahu stated that he rejects Gottlieb's words: "The one to blame for the attack is the Palestinian terrorist and no one else."

I blame the President of the Supreme Court for the attack.

I blame her for the sense of chaos in the people of Israel. I blame her for the destruction and severe damage to democracy and the rule of law.

She was intimidated by a right-wing government.

Not because of the reform.

So what if there is chaos here, then what if our enemies turn their backs on us because they recognize a weakness in our neighbor, everything is kosher on the way to overthrowing right-wing rule

In the meantime, last week Shas caused an uproar after it wanted to promote the Western Wall law that would establish sanctions for arriving in immodest clothing or playing music at the Western Wall. The law caused an uproar and received criticism, Netanyahu was forced to issue a clarification that the law would not be implemented and said: "The status quo at the Western Wall, a lie to all The nation of Israel will be preserved as it is today.

I have also talked with my friends, the leaders of the factions, and it is accepted by all that the law will not go up now.

And even if he had come forward, he would not have come forward with criminal articles on clothing or musical instruments that were written 40 years ago and are not acceptable to anyone."
