An attorney and candidate for the Democratic Party, Gabi Lasky, is accused of supporting an "organized criminal initiative" aimed at creating chaos and overthrowing Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu during wartime. According to the report, Lasky provided legal counsel to a group of activists, referred to as "renewers of the Palmach," who allegedly planned to blockade Jerusalem, surround the Prime Minister's residence, and provoke widespread arrests to destabilize the government.

Brigadier General (res.) Amir Haskel, identified as a protest organizer seeking Netanyahu's ouster, reportedly explained in a conversation that the next phase of protests would involve breaking the law, causing mass arrests, and creating chaos. He stated that these actions were necessary to achieve a political upheaval.

Another organizer, Ali Brook, is quoted as saying that the group was forming a "volunteer army" to blockade the Prime Minister's home and generate chaos among police forces, ultimately leading to Netanyahu's downfall. The activists reportedly hoped that widespread blockades and arrests would break Netanyahu.

Lasky allegedly encouraged activists to get arrested, believing that mass detentions would lead to chaos and a change in government. The report also claims that during planning discussions, Lasky remained silent when participants mentioned intimidating the Prime Minister's wife as part of the protest's objectives. The article asserts that these actions, supported by Lasky, occurred while Israel was engaged in conflict on multiple fronts, with the goal of illegally toppling the government.
