Justice Minister Avi Nissenkorn told Kan News this morning that a close eye needs to be kept on the regular demonstrations outside the Prime Minister's Residence in Jerusalem, as the risk of violence is great.

"The level of incitement is rising, directed in all directions, not just at the Prime Minister," he said. "We can also see extremist views promoted against members of the judiciary, and we must be very cautious and closely monitor the situation. These are not normal times when a Justice Minister has to assert that he has confidence in the justice system."
