Veteran Israeli singer Ofer Levi has sparked a severe public and political outcry with a video he posted on election day, calling for the execution of left-wing supporters. Levi, a known supporter of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Likud party, explicitly labeled citizens with different political views as "enemies of the state" and stated, "Anyone who supports this left, know that he is a terrorist in every sense and it is obligatory to execute him." He further elaborated, "It is a commandment to execute, really to execute. Not to expel or destroy homes, simply to execute."
Levi's remarks went beyond political criticism, constituting a direct challenge to the rule of law and democratic process. He expressed confidence in Netanyahu's continued premiership, stating, "Benjamin Netanyahu will remain our Prime Minister. We will fight with all our might. Thank God, we will win here." However, he also issued explicit threats if the election results did not favor his political stance, warning, "Even if we don't win, we will win, because we will take the law into our own hands with all our might. There will be trouble here."
These statements suggest that Levi and his supporters are not committed to democratic principles and may resort to violent civilian action if they lose the election. The disturbing video has prompted widespread shock on social media and within the political sphere, with many calling for an urgent criminal investigation by the police and the State Prosecutor's Office for inciting violence and terrorism on election day.
