Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gabir was interviewed this morning (Monday) by Channel 2, and harshly criticized the pilots’ protest against the reform of the justice system. “I remember that during the disengagement period they attacked the media for refusing an order, and arrested people who reported it,” he noted.

He also added that “they are not heroes, they can protest and shout but not refuse an order. There will not be one law for left-wing people and another for right-wing people. Some of the protesters attack policemen and throw police barriers. Throw police barriers at the policeman who threw the stun grenade.”
He blamed some of the demonstrators, and even claimed that he had intelligence information indicating that: “Among the demonstrators there are those who are planning the next murder. There are anarchists from the left who crossed the red line a long time ago. Some of them say it out loud – Ben Gabir, Sara Netanyahu should be killed, most of the protesters, however, are good and valuable people.”
The police raise an eyebrow in view of Minister Ben Gabir’s statements. Senior officials with whom Maariv spoke said: “We do not have any intelligence or other information according to which Man Dehu is planning to assassinate a prime minister, a minister or a member of the Knesset, neither from among the protest elements nor from those who are allegedly instigating. We personally have no idea where the minister got the details and in any case – They didn’t leave us, and they didn’t agree with the police, and they aren’t in the police’s custody.”
The chairman of the state camp, Benny Gantz, attacked Ben Gabir in response: “I call on Netanyahu to fire Ben Gabir before it is too late. Those who engaged in terrorism in the past instead of enlisting, delegitimize the patriotic demonstrators. Ben Gvir and the instigators are the fuel of the refusals.”
“First the Tiktok clown invented that he looks at screens and gives instructions, this morning he already started inventing ‘intelligence materials’ that don’t exist. It’s not only ridiculous, it’s also dangerous,” opposition chairman Yair Lapid attacked the minister’s words.
