The suspect, a 40-year-old Beersheba resident, was taken for questioning by the cyber branch of the Israel Police’s Lahav 433 unit over content he posted on the TikTok social media app.
He will be
brought before the Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court after the interrogation for
a hearing to potentially extend his custody.
Police did
not elaborate on the specific content that the suspect posted.
Netanyahu
and other senior lawmakers have been the target of numerous threats
in recent years amid an increasingly tense political climate.
Several accusations have
been made against the police for opening questionable investigations amid an
alleged crackdown on free speech since war broke out following the October 7
atrocities by the Hamas terror group and the subsequent war.
