Opposition Leader Yitzhak Herzog reacted to the conflict between Supreme Court President Miriam Naor and Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked by saying, Thursday, "The D9 [demolition bulldozer -ed.] gives rise to the gun that shoots the bullet that leads to the [memorial] gathering, and this is a short history of fervor, incitement and undermining of the foundations of democracy."
Herzog continued, "I told the Knesset this week, and I repeat and determine - Netanyahu and henchmen in the Knesset are leading a kind of coup to vet the systems of justice, the media, criticism and decent-and-fair democratic regime in order to perpetuate his rule."
