The Likud movement filed a complaint with the police on Thursday against retired Colonel Miki Kesari, accusing him of inciting murder. According to Likud, Kesari repeatedly stated that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should "stand before a firing squad." The complaint, submitted by the movement's legal counsel Ilan Bombach, includes WhatsApp correspondence where Kesari allegedly made these remarks. The messages also reportedly contained an AI-generated image of Netanyahu standing next to Nohba terrorists.
Likud stated, "We call on the law enforcement system to take a strong hand against the rampant incitement against Prime Minister Netanyahu." Kesari previously commanded the submarine flotilla and chairs the association of naval officers' alumni. After his military service, he managed an engineering school at Tel Aviv University.
The complaint comes amid other legal actions taken by Prime Minister Netanyahu against Israeli media outlets, including Haaretz, Channel 12 News, and Ynet, concerning reports that he received a warning before the October 7th attacks.
