MK Yitzhak Pindrus (United Torah Judaism) was asked whether he would support shooting at Haredi protesters during the ongoing demonstrations and replied, 'start with Lazimi,' according to a post on C14. The comment escalates a previous controversy in which Pindrus allegedly called for shooting MK Naama Lazimi in the legs. The exact context and wording of the new exchange remain under review.
MK Yitzhak Pindrus (United Torah Judaism) has been drawn into a new controversy during the ongoing Haredi protests, after being asked by a channel whether he would support shooting at the demonstrators. According to a report on channel C14, Pindrus responded, 'start with Lazimi' — an apparent reference to MK Naama Lazimi (The Democrats), whom Pindrus allegedly called to shoot in the legs during a Knesset debate earlier today. The Zioneer reported on that initial exchange at 12:48 Jerusalem time. The new remark, if verified, suggests Pindrus was not distancing from the earlier statement but expanding its implied target list. The exact phrasing and tone of the question and response are not independently confirmed, and Pindrus has not issued a statement. The remark comes as Haredi protesters continue demonstrations in Jerusalem, with tensions running high over reported hit-and-run incidents and allegations of police conduct.
