Overview

• Netanyahu said demonstrations have crossed democratic norms, accusing organizers of vandalism, road blockages, and harassment of officials’ families.
• He alleged daily death threats against him and his family and likened protesters’ tactics to “fascist gangs,” including a claimed plan for a “ring of fire” around his residence.
• The prime minister said a fire on Charlap/Harlap Street next to his home spread to a vehicle belonging to Capt. (Res.) Yoav Bar Yishai.
• Netanyahu highlighted that Bar Yishai, the grandson of former minister Yaakov Neeman, has served about 260 days this year in Gaza and Lebanon and is an officer in an elite Armored Corps unit.
• He faulted law enforcement for what he called nonexistent enforcement, citing earlier breaches of roadblocks and fences and flares that nearly burned a security guard, and he demanded a change in policing.
