Moshe Feiglin, chairman of the Zehut party, has filed a police complaint after receiving a series of letters from a Bar-Ilan University professor. Feiglin described the letters as being written in a "distorted and square handwriting that looks like the handwriting of a third-grade girl, almost unreadable." Initially, Feiglin dismissed the letters, believing them to be from an eccentric individual. However, upon further review, he began to suspect an attempt to exert pressure and harass him, prompting him to contact the authorities.
Feiglin stated that the professor concealed his identity, making him unrecognizable. He emphasized that while he did not delve deeply into the letters' content due to his busy public schedule, the underlying message suggested an effort to intimidate him. He expressed satisfaction with the police's prompt action on the matter.
Comparing the situation to the 2023 protests against the government, Feiglin noted that while the professor's actions were concerning, the earlier protests were more severe as they were instigated by prominent public figures. He condemned violent initiatives, whether from the left or the right, citing examples like fireworks aimed at the Prime Minister's residence and attempts to disrupt IDF operations. Feiglin stressed that such decisions should be made by citizens at the ballot box, not through unilateral actions.
Feiglin also revealed that he faces personal threats from Arab social media users, which he considers more serious due to explicit intentions of murder. He has also filed police complaints regarding these threats.
