Rabbi Shlomo Benizri and journalist Itamar Fleishman blamed Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara for a hit-and-run injury at a protest by the Jerusalem faction, citing her past statement that effective protest requires disturbing public order. Their comments, published by Yinon Magal, are a political reaction to an incident whose details remain under investigation.
Two right-wing public figures attributed responsibility for a run-over injury at a Jerusalem faction protest to Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara in statements published Monday evening. Rabbi Shlomo Benizri said there is 'no justification' for the incident but argued that Baharav-Miara 'normalized it' by saying 'there is no effective protest without disturbing the public order' — a remark he called 'historically idiotic.' Journalist Itamar Fleishman wrote that 'every drop of blood, including that of the Jew injured today, is on the hands of the attorney general — period' and added that she and her allies on the High Court enabled the event. The protest and the reported injury occurred among members of the Jerusalem faction, the hardline Haredi group that has held repeated demonstrations against the state. The precise circumstances of the run-over — whether intentional or accidental — were still under investigation as of the reporting. No official statement from the Attorney General's office has been issued in response. The remarks represent a political framing of an incident that, as of this draft, lacks a complete factual record regarding the driver's intent or the sequence of events.
