Protest against the legal reform : A demonstration against MinisterNir Barkat turned violent today (Monday) when security guards at the hotel in Kfar Blum where the minister arrived attacked several protesters . Giora Ben Ze'ev, who participated in the demonstration and witnessed the violence, denied the report that there was an attempt to harm a meat. "No one touched him," he said in an interview with Ben Caspit and Aryeh Eldad on their show on 103FM.
According to him, Barkat passed near the protesters on his way to the hotel lobby. "He passed between us as if on purpose, I don't know who published it, but he needs to pass a polygraph," he said.
Ben Ze'ev also addressed the claims that the security guards responded to the protestors' disturbance in the hotel area. "There wasn't a living soul there," he said firmly. "We demonstrated like in a demonstration, with flags and without violence. They used force on us, they started beating us – 80-year-old people. The average age of the demonstrators was 65, and the manager of the shift, quite a scoundrel, turned on the water on us."
After the violent incident in Kfar Blum, in the vicinity of Barkat, they claim that "the incident could have ended in bodily harm, in light of the fact that it took the police half an hour to arrive and disperse the protesters, and in the meantime the Minister had one security guard who was unable to deal with dozens of violent protesters who were physically trying to reach the Minister of Barkat. The next political murder It is a matter of time," argued the Minister of Economy.
