Netanyahu on the reservists' protest: "The refusal threatens the foundation of existence" (L.A.M.)
In a conversation with Likud ministers this evening (Tuesday), Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu addressed the protest of the reservists who refused to show up in units due to the opposition to the legal revolution led by the government.
Netanyahu said that "refusal is a dangerous phenomenon that should be strongly opposed. But even when doing so, and even in the heat of the moment, it should be done within the limits of the relevant discourse."
His words were said in the background of the statements of Communications Minister Shlomo Karai and Information Minister Galit Distel-Atbarian.
He also told them that "the task of all of us is to try to calm the spirits and not inflame them, and this applies to everyone without exception."
Netanyahu responded more than 48 hours after Distel's tweet and 24 hours after Karai's publication.

On the other hand, he said that "threats of refusal are playing with fire.
