Man arrested over social media threats to Netanyahu, Rivlin, ministers

The suspect was to be brought Thursday for a remand hearing at the Beersheba Magistrate’s Court.
Police said in the statement that they “view with severity any suspected criminal offense against public figures.”
Police added that they were “working to distance the suspects involved in such crimes from the public.”

The development comes amid a recent crackdown on online threats against the prime minister.
Last month, the Ashdod Magistrate’s Court convicted a Beersheba man who threatened Netanyahu on social media. In June, Asher Ben Dor wrote on Twitter, “Anyone know about preparations to assassinate the prime minister? It seems the time has come, it seems to be that it has become unbearable.”
