Likud files complaint against MK from Yesh Atid for incitement against PM

Likud has filed an urgent complaint with the police against MK Ram Ben Barak (Yesh Atid) for incitement to violence, following his remarks in which he called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "the greatest enemy of the State of Israel." According to Likud, this crosses red lines and creates dangerous delegitimization that could be interpreted as justification for action against the PM.

Likud has filed an urgent complaint with the Israel Police against MK Ram Ben Barak of Yesh Atid, on suspicion of incitement to violence. The complaint was submitted through the law firm Ilan Bombach & Co., following Ben Barak's remarks in an interview on Reshet Bet, where he called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "the greatest enemy of the State of Israel" and unequivocally stood by his words. According to Likud, this constitutes a blatant crossing of red lines and creates dangerous delegitimization that could be interpreted on the ground as justification for action against the Prime Minister, necessitating an immediate criminal investigation. The incident occurs against the backdrop of rising political tensions in Israel, as Likud, associated with Netanyahu, acts against statements by opposition members.
