MK Miki Levy (Yesh Atid) was a guest today (Saturday) at Shevbart in Beer Sheva, he referred to the legal coup promoted by the government and sharply attacked Minister Ben Gabir: “Ben Gabir’s finger is visible everywhere in the Israel Police, calling on the police and officers to show discretion. The protesters are the salt of the earth, the only anarchist is minister Ben Gabir who has seven convictions including supporting terrorism.”
Urgent appeal to the ombudsman against Ben Gabir: “Using the police as his private militia”
Ahead of tonight’s protest in Tel Aviv and Haifa: the complete list of roadblocks
At the beginning of his remarks, Levy said: “The feelings are very hard. When the Prime Minister came up to give a speech, I said to myself how much it is possible not to speak the truth. 75 years have not advanced the legislation, stop, see what happens. They are determined to pass the laws. I have been in the Knesset for 10 years, committees have never met on Sunday – this proves to you that they have no God.
“Most of my life I’ve been in uniform, there are things that are above politics and even above my family. We came back after two thousand years of exile, stop. Stop, who doesn’t want to stop? Haredim who don’t want to be forced to join the army, Shas who don’t want Aryeh Deri and Rash the government because of his personal affairs.”
He emphasized: “I’m unequivocally against refusal – it’s a red line. When the ball hits, it doesn’t distinguish between people. There are professions where people volunteer and have no substitute – the country comes first, we have nowhere to go, we can’t lose this country.”
“I don’t like the incident that happened outside the hair salon with Sara Netanyahu, she has no official role, I would have avoided it. It is the right of the family members to maintain their privacy, even though the other side did not act that way. There was no danger to life, there were police and Shin Bet forces. There was a demonstration and no risk is taken, she is entitled to protection. It is appropriate that this event should not have taken place.”
Levy turned to the police and said: “The protesters are the salt of the earth, you see the influence of minister Ben Gabir, I call my brothers officers and policemen of the Israel Police, you accept the policy on the ground, professionally and operationally be responsible, Ben Gabir cannot become commissioner. Ben Gvir cannot summon a police officer for a reprimand call. The police is the most important organization for preserving democracy outside the court.”
“Ben Gabir’s finger is visible everywhere in the Israel Police, I call on my fellow police officers to exercise discretion, the decision on the ground is yours and not the minister’s. I trust the commissioner that his considerations are professional. The only anarchist is minister Ben Gabir who has seven convictions, one conviction is for supporting a terrorist organization.
“Ben Gabir’s spirit has descended into the lower part of the Israel Police. The behavior of the policeman who threw a grenade was unprofessional, what danger was there? That’s not how you throw a stun grenade. Ben Gabir is the only anarchist on the ground and not the protesters. Anyone who values democracy – please come out and demonstrate. Head The government has lost control. Ben Gabir is not suitable for his position.
