Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu filed a police complaint today (Monday) against publicist Rani Rahav, following his remarks during an interview he gave to Neve Dromi on the i24news channel. At the same time, the minister sent a letter to the Attorney General's Counsel, Attorney Gali Baharav-Miara, demanding that a criminal investigation be opened for incitement to violence. During the interview, Rahav referred to Minister Eliyahu and said: "Don't you feel like pouring some boiling oil on him? Do you feel like..." In a letter to the Attorney General, the minister writes that this is explicit incitement to violence against an elected official, which amounts to a criminal offense. The Minister of Heritage emphasized the seriousness of the incident in his letter and requested her immediate intervention. "We must act firmly against any manifestation of incitement, especially when it comes to statements that could lead to acts of violence." The Office of the Legal Advisor to the Prime Minister stated that the appeal was received and will be examined in accordance with accepted procedures. Rani Rahav responded on his Facebook account: "The national instigator is speaking! May God protect the people of Israel from people like you! There is not a day that you don't incite against everyone. You are one of the causes of October 7. Because of your incitement, the people are weakened! "A minister in the Israeli government, a minister of shame and disgrace. What did you think, that you would scare me? You were wrong. I wish there would be a trial, I promise you that I will represent myself and explain to the people of Israel who you are. The number 1 instigator in the country, shame on you, because of you the whole investigation in The Hague, because you wanted to drop an atomic bomb on Gaza. There is no shame, believe me, you will fast and God will not forgive you for your incitements. "We will see you remove immunity and I will sue you today.".
