former prime minister Ehud Barak Speaking this morning (Thursday) with Ben Caspit and Winon Magal about the events of the night in the United States, he said that “the equivalent of what happened in the US is Netanyahu’s incitement against the rule of law, the justice system, the fact that Netanyahu just like Trump cultivates Pike News culture. “Post-truth, of alternative reactions as turning politics into a kind of reality show, completely disregarding the justice and enforcement system, claims that cases have been sewn for him.”
He stressed in a conversation on 103FM: “He is responsible for incitement but he is hiding behind self-righteousness. Both have extreme narcissism, the situation he is working for himself, a complete disconnect between understanding his personal good and what the state needs.” Barak claimed in an interview that what happened at night in the United States “was actually an attempted coup, and we did not have one.”

Comparing them to the demonstrations in Balfour, the demonstrators are calling against all the corruption of everything we know as democracy in Israel.
This is the Prime Minister, you said that before the election and people went and voted for him.
“The election results are not a reason to prevent demonstrations, there is no reason, people can demonstrate because they think what is happening is wrong. “Without the demonstrations for four years, there would have been no indictment for bribery, fraud and breach of trust. I know Mandelblit and the legal system well enough, there would have been no indictment.”
I do not accept the terminology removed, you will not remove anyone and there is democracy and elections here.
“Elections are not the only way to remove a prime minister in Israel. A person whose trial has been opened and is already on trial when he is charged with offenses he committed when he was prime minister, cannot be re-elected prime minister.”
Do you see at the end the possibility that protesters of this or that Balfour protest will try to do something that is taking the law into their own hands?
“Meanwhile, the most serious thing that happened in the context of the demonstrations is not related to the demonstrators but to those who made an attempt to set fire to the encampment near Balfour. This is what should have been shocking. Unlike the police conduct yesterday, the police here use violence that does not belong to the demonstration world. “No personal injury from the demonstrations. The serious violence that is affecting human life, unfortunately, has only increased in the right-wing beds in Israel.”
“If the government betrays its goals, if neither the Blue and White Knesset members, the Likud, nor the Supreme Court or the president stand, then there is no choice, the citizens will take matters into their own hands, where the state, the elected government is raised,” it concluded. , “Yesterday they were instigated by a narcissistic and egotistical man who thinks that democracy is an automatic rule of the elected, who divides, divides and belittles the judiciary.”
