The Identity Party has filed an urgent complaint with the police following the circulation of an Arabic-language video calling for an ambush and physical harm against party chairman Moshe Feiglin. The video, which appeared on social media, explicitly urges to "set an ambush, physically harm, take revenge, and punish" Feiglin.
This comes in the wake of recent inflammatory online rhetoric directed at Feiglin, following his ascent to the Temple Mount earlier that day and in light of his campaign positions. Feiglin stated that the threats and calls for an ambush would not deter the party. He emphasized that the struggle for existence begins at the Temple Mount, a holy site for the Jewish people, and that Israeli sovereignty is decided there.
Feiglin criticized the reality of extremist elements threatening and attempting to silence public officials who express clear truths fearlessly. He demanded immediate action from the Israel Police to apprehend those inciting violence and to unequivocally clarify who is sovereign and in charge in Israel.
