Justice Minister Yariv Levin on Saturday requested Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara to open an investigation into remarks by former state prosecutor Moshe Lador, alleging they amounted to incitement to military disobedience.
"Calls for disobedience, whether in peacetime or wartime, constitute a clear and severe violation of the law," Levin wrote, adding that such statements are especially grave when made by a figure who once shaped the state’s prosecution policies.
Lador had stated earlier that "pilots whose service is voluntary must tell the state that if it becomes a dictatorship, they will not enter the cockpit."
