The Likud party has filed a police complaint against Itay Galon, described as a senior figure in the Brothers in Arms organization, on suspicion of inciting violence against Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. The complaint, submitted on Thursday, alleges that Galon published severe incitement to violence against the Prime Minister on his X (formerly Twitter) account.
The complaint, filed by attorney Ilan Bombach, includes screenshots of alleged harsh responses posted by Galon, such as "commit suicide, filth" and "die already, stinking loser." The Likud claims these are not isolated incidents but a repeated series of statements directed at Netanyahu, accusing him of treason and murder.
According to the complaint, the combination of the severity of the language, its repetition, and the current public atmosphere, especially during an election period, necessitates a police investigation. Attorney Bombach stated that explicit calls for suicide and death, along with portraying Netanyahu as a traitor and murderer, could legitimize physical harm against him and be perceived by extremists as permission to act on their words.
The Likud is requesting the police to open a criminal investigation and locate the digital evidence related to these publications. The party argues that such rhetoric could grant legitimacy to harming the Prime Minister.
