Channel 14 reports that following a broadcast in its news edition yesterday (Wednesday, September 30, 2026), police complaints were filed against retired Colonel Mickey Kisry. Kisry, a former senior Navy officer who currently heads an educational association of graduates of the Naval Officers School, wrote that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should be tried for treason and placed before a firing squad. It was also claimed that he sent images of Nukhba terrorists alongside Netanyahu, a description the article calls "completely deranged and highly inciting." In response, Likud and Deputy Minister Almog Cohen appealed to the Police Commissioner demanding an immediate criminal investigation. Likud advisor, attorney Ilan Bombach, was quoted as saying, "The cumulative message emerging from these remarks is clear—a call to sentence the Prime Minister of Israel to death and carry it out by firing squad." The article presents the event as severe incitement spiraling out of control.
