MK Naama Lazimi (Democrats) called on Attorney-General Gali Baharav Miara to open an immediate criminal investigation into MK Nissim Vaturi (Likud) for “serious incitement to violence,” on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Vaturi commented that Lazimi’s character would make her a successful candidate in Hamas elections in the Gaza Strip. “That’s her character; she is unable to run in Israel,” he said in an interview on Kol Barama.<\/p>\n
When questioned on this, he responded that “Anyone who harms the State of Israel from within is even worse than this. Our enemies are inside the state, inside our soft belly, inside the Knesset.”<\/p>\n
“Vaturi’s words are blood libel and incitement to violence. When the deputy speaker of the Knesset compares a public representative to Hamas terrorists, he marks them as a target, and God forbid, lays groundwork for the next political murder,” Lazimi said.<\/p>\n
“The coalition of lawlessness is trying to act with terror, but their threats will not stop our public struggle. I demand that the law enforcement system wake up and stop this madness immediately before it is too late,” she added.<\/p>\n
“Netanyahu and his people have put a target on my back. The government of draft dodgers and failures is inviting the next political assassination. Our blood is on their hands,” she wrote on X\/Twitter.<\/p>\n
“This government has put a target on my back; it started with a politicized police force that beats me in the streets in violation of immunity, continued with an attorney general who threatened me and a Knesset member who called to shoot me in the legs just a week ago, and now this. It\u2019s not me they\u2019re trying to intimidate, but the entire liberal camp and everyone who opposes the government,” she added.<\/p>\n
“Likud has turned into a bankrupt mafia; they have nothing to sell, so they resort to incitement and violence against those the Israeli public wants to replace them. The Hamas coalition is an asset that transferred suitcases of money to Hamas, trying to set the country ablaze again and crush Israel\u2019s democratic regime,” she said.<\/p>\n
“They won\u2019t shy away from any means to break us, and we won\u2019t give up, we\u2019ll bring the change. I will continue to fight in the most resolute and determined way for the State of Israel and the Israeli public. They won\u2019t scare me, they won\u2019t stop us, they won\u2019t prevent the change,” her X post concluded.<\/p>\n
