Likud announced it filed a police complaint against retired Lt. Col. Miki Kisari, accusing him of incitement to murder Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. According to the party, Kisari repeatedly said that Netanyahu should 'stand before a firing squad.' Kisari, a former submarine fleet commander, now heads the Navy Officers Association.
The complaint was submitted to Israel Police on Thursday by the Likud party, which has been pressing law enforcement to take action against what it describes as escalating incitement against Prime Minister Netanyahu. The party's announcement did not detail whether police have opened an investigation. Kisari has not responded publicly. As The Zioneer reported on August 2, Likud has previously criticized the attorney general and police for what it called insufficient action against incitement. The case comes amid ongoing political tensions and security threats.
