Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday condemned comments by former state prosecutor Moshe Lador, who appeared to endorse military disobedience under certain conditions.
Netanyahu called such statements "a red line that endangers democracy and undermines our future," and urged Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara to act immediately against "this dangerous phenomenon."
Defense Minister Israel Katz echoed Netanyahu, saying, "Disobedience of any kind cannot be accepted under any circumstances."
Lador had earlier said, "Pilots whose service is voluntary must tell the state that if it becomes a dictatorship, they will not enter the cockpit."
