On video: Makhtezit to evacuate protesters in protest of the legal revolution, Azrieli, Tel Aviv March 1, 2023 (official website)
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attacked opposition leader Yair Lapid at noon (Wednesday) after the violent clashes between police and demonstrators in Tel Aviv as part of a protest against the legal revolution.
11 injured people arrived at the Ichilov Hospital for treatment and they suffer from bruises, cuts, burns and bruises on the body.
One wounded person was taken to the operating room and two remained hospitalized.
"The State of Israel acted forcefully when the demonstrations came from the other side of politics. It doesn't matter which side it comes from. The law must be respected. It is forbidden to beat policemen. It is forbidden to disrupt the life of the state, to block central roads. I understand that there is someone here who aims to create anarchy, their name is Yair Lapid, he says it clearly," Netanyahu said.
He added that "he does not want to reach an agreement, he does not respond to our calls for dialogue, which are repeated and are real. He wants to prevent this and he simply wants to bring about a governmental crisis. I would say a constitutional crisis, because through this he intends to reach new elections."
Lapid's response was not long in coming and in a tweet on his Twitter account he wrote: "The only anarchy here is produced by the government over which you have lost control. Bibi, whoever let Ben Gabir play with explosives knew it would end in an explosion."
