MK Shlomo Karhi (Likud) has sharply criticized left-wing demonstrators, and included Attorney-General Avichai Mandelblit in his attack.
"We will not let anarchists endanger the public health," Karhi said, "and neither will we allow the Attorney-General to do so. I intend to oppose any law that exempts demonstrations from regulations limiting public gatherings in an open space to 20 people. The right to protest is important, but the rights to freedom of movement and conduct business are none less so. And saving lives overrides all of these rights. If people insist on protesting, let them do so in capsules, or via Zoom."
