Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on law enforcement to investigate cases of incitement against his government ministers and himself, including death threats. This was reported on the website of the office of the head of the Israeli Cabinet.

“In recent weeks, we have witnessed a growing wave of daily incitement that goes beyond any limits. It seemed that the threats against elected officials and me crossed all boundaries...,” the Israeli prime minister said.

Netanyahu said he expects investigators to take action against those involved in the threats.

“We are shocked by Zeev Raza’s call to assassinate Prime Minister Netanyahu and his government ministers,” the Israeli Prime Minister’s party stressed.

Earlier, the Prime Minister of Israel said that he would study the possibility of supplying weapons to Ukraine. As Netanyahu recalled, the previous Israeli government rejected the issue of supplying weapons to Kyiv.
