A suspect of disorderly conduct and damage to government symbols was denied release from custody by Magistrate Court Judge Mario Klein following the arrest of over 100 protesters against the government. The judge made an unusual statement in his decision, referencing the threat of Islamization ideologies to Israel. Amid this, officials from Likud warned that going against the party would lead to political suicide, while Netanyahu is set to continue with plans to change the judges’ committee next week. Yair Lapid refused to suspend a protest on Independence Day despite a call from Regev. The suspect submitted medical documents to the court, but the judge found no justification for release before the case was brought to a hearing and called for unity against those wishing to destroy Israel.

The suspect submitted medical documents to the court, but according to the judge, these do not prove that continued detention will harm his health. “(To the application) only one medical document from a year and a half ago was attached,” he claimed in his decision, and ordered to allow the detainee’s family to bring the necessary medicines to the detention center.

According to the judge, he found no justification for releasing the detainee before his case was brought to a hearing, and before his risk was assessed. The detainee’s request made the judge sail through his memories to his first visit to Polish soil, and called for unity among the people against those seeking to destroy him.
“Even in the terrible moments when the Nazi oppressor had already begun to destroy the Jews of Europe, the Jews were still not united, they continued the old debates. That’s when the insight seeped into me that we here in Israel are dependent on each other and if we don’t face it in the end we will be dependent on each other,” he signed his decision . “The State of Israel is dealing with Islamization ideologies that loudly announce their hope to destroy our country and destroy the rest of the exodus that has concentrated here. We must not give them a hand in this.”
