Members of the left-wing organization "Crime Minister," led by Yishai Hadas, have publicly wished death upon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, repeatedly posting messages such as "May you die, Amen, even on Shabbat, may you die today and every day." These posts have garnered enthusiastic support from dozens of commenters who also express wishes for suffering and pain to Netanyahu. Despite these explicit death wishes, Israeli police and the prosecution have not taken any action, continuing a pattern of inaction.

Yishai Hadas and his group were prominent opponents during the judicial reform protests and have long sought to remove Netanyahu from power. However, recently Hadas has escalated his rhetoric to openly wishing death on the prime minister. A senior Likud official condemned the incitement, blaming the dismissed Attorney General for fostering a climate of hatred and violence against the government. The official warned that this unchecked incitement could lead to tragedy and vowed that after the elections, the dismissed Attorney General would be removed from all positions to restore law and order.

The article also highlights the silence from the political left and opposition regarding these threats, questioning how they would react if the roles were reversed. The lack of enforcement against such incitement is presented as selective and politically motivated, with calls for equal application of the law regardless of political affiliation.
