Moshe Feiglin, the chairman of the Zehut party, has responded to a recently filed indictment against a mathematics lecturer from Bar-Ilan University. The indictment alleges that the lecturer planned a large-scale terror attack targeting Arab civilians and attempted to recruit Feiglin into his plot. According to the indictment, the lecturer persistently tried to contact Feiglin to enlist him in his terror plan. When his attempts were unsuccessful, the lecturer allegedly sent Feiglin extortion and threat letters, also attempting to deliver them through intermediaries.
Feiglin and the Zehut party leadership stated that immediately upon receiving the letters, they approached the Israel Police and filed a formal complaint. The party expressed gratitude to law enforcement for their swift action and confidence in the security and judicial authorities to prosecute the perpetrator to the fullest extent of the law.
The prosecution has charged the lecturer with offenses including preparation for a terror act, extortion by threats, and obstruction of justice. The lecturer's name is currently under a gag order by the court.
