In a sharp attack, MK Naama Lazimi labeled the Prime Minister as "Hamas financier and Qatar's No. 1 foreign agent", accusing him of sacrificing the lives of citizens, soldiers, and hostages while disregarding the value of the sanctity of life.

In fact, Knesset Member Naama Lazimi published a harsh message directed at the Prime Minister, in which she accused him of direct responsibility for harming human lives in the country. Additionally, she published eight hours ago:

"Netanyahu's offer to the Shin Bet head to retire in exchange for silence – is a bribe offer and proof that he is guilty. Netanyahu, who has already been charged with bribery, is bribing again. This is not a coincidence – it's a consistent policy of a criminal. Netanyahu poses a danger to state security, and investigations into serious security affairs involving him and his office could be compromised if we blink in the face of his actions. Ronen Bar must stick to his commitment to the state and its citizens – the Shin Bet head must not surrender to these dangerous compromises at the expense of the public and the state. We all know what Netanyahu's word is worth. The Hamas financier is afraid and willing to make extravagant offers to avoid exposing the findings and suspicions against him and his office".

In the stern message she published on the X network, Lazimi called the Prime Minister "Hamas financier and Qatar's No. 1 foreign agent", and accused him of empty talk about international pressure. "You are the chief sacrificer of human lives in Israel – hostages, citizens, soldiers", Lazimi wrote in direct reference to Netanyahu.

In the continuation of her message, Lazimi sharpened her tone: "You lack the most important thing for a leader and a human being – a basic value for human life". She added and said that "you and everyone around you are the destruction", in what was perceived as criticism of the entire government.

The Knesset member concluded her message with words that sparked a political storm: "After you, we will know resurrection. It will be soon". This statement immediately provoked angry reactions among government supporters, who saw it as a veiled threat toward the Prime Minister, while others interpreted it as a political forecast regarding Netanyahu's future in the public arena.

This statement by Lazimi joins a long line of exchanges of accusations between the opposition and the coalition in recent months, against the backdrop of the tense security situation and the ongoing negotiations for the return of the hostages.

The court has not yet ruled that the Prime Minister is a "foreign agent", and therefore the Knesset member's statements at this stage constitute defamation and an inappropriate personal example for the public. The social network X is not a lawless arena, and therefore the word published on it has significant meaning and weight.

In reactions to the publication, there were those who expressed support for Knesset Member Lazimi and claimed that her words, harsh as they may be, reflect the deep frustration prevailing among large sections of the public with the government's handling of recent crises.

As of the publication of this news, the Prime Minister's Office has not yet issued an official response to the statements of Knesset Member Lazimi.

Lazimi's harsh statement occurs at a particularly sensitive time, as political tensions in Israel reach new heights and polarization in Israeli society deepens. Political commentators assess that exchanges of accusations of this type are expected to continue and even intensify as the security situation continues to be complex and negotiations regarding the hostages are prolonged.

Statements of this type reflect the deep rift in Israeli political discourse, and they may further deepen the division in Israeli society at this time.

הפוסט MK Lazimi: Netanyahu is Qatar's No. 1 Foreign Agent הופיע לראשונה ב-מעקב.

While the police accuse MK Lazimi of abusing her immunity and obstructing police work, the MK claims she was assaulted by police forces.

The police released a video of the incident, which they claim shows MK Lazimi "forcefully pushing between police officers and preventing them from confiscating a mobile phone from a woman." The police statement reads: "We regret that a public servant behaves provocatively, cynically using parliamentary immunity, misleading the public, and defaming police officers."

On the other hand, MK Lazimi responded sharply to the police accusations. In a post published on her Instagram page, she wrote: "Yesterday, a police officer told a protester that he would rape his mother in Jerusalem, I myself was attacked at a demonstration in Tel Aviv – police violence at demonstrations is extreme and severe, and no less severe is the violence from the police spokesperson's office, which is lying."

This incident raises acute questions about the limits of Knesset members' authority during demonstrations and, on the other hand, about police behavior towards elected public representatives and demonstrators.

The police emphasized in their statement that they will continue to ensure freedom of protest within the law but will not allow public order violations, criminal acts, or attacks on police officers.

Israel Police reports:

Regarding MK Lazimi, who was present at the scene, we want to clarify that contrary to her claims of allegedly being harmed by police actions, and to prevent misleading the public and unjustified defamation of police officers – we explain that in fact, the MK is using her immunity to interfere with police officers performing their duties.

This was also the case in this incident, when MK Lazimi interfered with police officers performing their duties, forcefully pushing between police officers and preventing them from confiscating a mobile phone from a woman, as seen in the attached video.

We regret that a public servant behaves provocatively, cynically using parliamentary immunity, misleading the public, and defaming police officers. We will not allow anyone to interfere with the work of police officers who work day and night for the benefit of the entire society.

We will continue to ensure freedom of protest within the law, but we will not allow public order violations, criminal acts, or attacks on police officers in violation of the law.

הפוסט Confrontation Between Police and Knesset Member Lazimi: Mutual Accusations הופיע לראשונה ב-מעקב.

המשטרה פרסמה תיעוד מצולם מהאירוע, בו נראית לטענתה ח"כ לזימי "נדחפת בכוח בין השוטרים ומפריעה להם לתפוס את הטלפון הנייד שהיה אצל האישה". בהודעה שפרסמה המשטרה נכתב: "צר לנו שנושאת משרה ציבורית מתנהלת באופן פרובוקטיבי, תוך שימוש ציני בחסינות פרלמנטרית, הטעיית הציבור והכפשת השוטרים".

מנגד, ח"כ לזימי הגיבה בחריפות לטענות המשטרה. בפוסט שפרסמה בחשבון האינסטגרם שלה, כתבה: "אתמול שוטר אמר למפגין שיאנוס את אמא שלו בירושלים, אני הותקפתי בעצמי בהפגנה בת"א – האלימות המשטרתית בהפגנות היא קיצונית וקשה, ואלימות לא פחות קשה היא של דוברות המשטרה שמשקרת".

האירוע מעלה שאלות נוקבות לגבי גבולות הסמכות של חברי כנסת בזמן הפגנות, ומאידך, לגבי התנהלות המשטרה מול נבחרי ציבור ומפגינים.

המשטרה הדגישה בהודעתה כי תמשיך לאפשר את חופש המחאה כחוק, אך לא תאפשר הפרות סדר, מעשים פליליים ותקיפת שוטרים.

ממשטרת ישראל נמסר:

בנוגע לח"כ לזימי אשר נכחה במקום נבהיר כי בניגוד לטענותיה בנוגע לכך שלכאורה נפגעה משוטרים ובכדי למנוע הטעיית הציבור והכפשת השוטרים לשווא – נבהיר כי בפועל, חה״כ מנצלת את חסינותה על מנת להפריע לשוטרים לבצע את משימתם.

כך היה באירוע הנ״ל, כשחברת הכנסת לזימי הפריעה לשוטרים לבצע תפקידם, תוך שהיא נדחפת בכח בין השוטרים ומפריעה להם לתפוס את הטלפון הנייד שהיה אצל האישה כפי שנראה בתיעוד המצ"ב.

צר לנו שנושאת משרה ציבורית מתנהלת באופן פרובוקטיבי, תוך שימוש ציני בחסינות פרלמנטרית, הטעיית הציבור והכפשת השוטרים, לא נאפשר לאף גורם לפגוע בעבודת השוטרים שפועלים לילות כימים למען כלל הציבור.

נמשיך לאפשר את חופש המחאה כחוק אולם לא נאפשר הפרות סדר, מעשים פליליים ותקיפת שוטרים בניגוד לחוק.
