Zehut Party Leader Reports Attempted Extortion and Threats

Moshe Feiglin, chairman of the Zehut party, revealed on Tuesday that he and his party had been subjected to an attempted extortion and threats. According to Feiglin, a lecturer from Bar-Ilan University attempted to recruit him and his party members for a mass attack against Arabs. Feiglin described in an interview with 103fm how he received a series of unusual letters over a period of time, which eventually led him to contact the police. He stated that the letters were written in a distorted and almost illegible handwriting, and initially, he did not attribute much importance to them. However, upon realizing their potential significance, he reported the matter to the authorities. Feiglin explained that the letter writer attempted to conceal their identity, but between the lines, he began to understand there was an attempt to harass and exert pressure. Investigators connected the dots for him, and he and his team realized there was some kind of organization involved. Following the exposure of the incident, Feiglin issued a statement detailing the actions taken by him and his party. He confirmed that upon receiving the extortion and threat letters from the accused, he and the party leadership immediately contacted the Israel Police and filed a formal complaint. The statement also expressed gratitude to law enforcement for their swift and decisive action, and confidence that the security and judicial authorities would prosecute the offenders to the fullest extent of the law. The Zehut party affirmed its commitment to continuing its public service responsibly and without fear.
