Zehut Chairman Moshe Feiglin Details Attempted Blackmail Over Terror Plot

Moshe Feiglin, chairman of the Zehut party, revealed details Tuesday about an attempted blackmail and extortion scheme he experienced. Feiglin stated that a lecturer from Bar-Ilan University attempted to recruit him and his party members for a mass terror attack targeting Arabs. Feiglin recounted receiving a series of letters over a long period, written in a distorted and nearly illegible script. Initially, he did not attach much importance to them, but upon realizing their potential significance, he contacted the police. The letters, which concealed the author's identity, hinted at an attempt to harass and exert pressure. Investigators connected the dots for Feiglin and his team, leading them to understand that an organized effort was underway. Following the prosecution's announcement, Feiglin stated that he and his party leadership immediately filed a formal complaint with the Israel Police upon receiving the extortion and threat letters. He expressed gratitude to law enforcement for their swift and decisive action, stating his trust in the security and judicial authorities to prosecute the perpetrators to the fullest extent of the law. The Zehut party affirmed its commitment to acting with public responsibility and without fear.
