Netanyahu Accused of Exploiting New Coronavirus Crisis

By Staff, Agencies

With the Zionist government enacting a series of emergency measures to stem the spread of the new coronavirus, its Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is facing growing accusations that he is exploiting the crisis to entrench himself in power and undermining the occupation entity’s foundations.

Amid a wave of sweeping restrictions that have put ‘Israel’ in near shutdown mode, Netanyahu managed to postpone his own pending criminal trial, authorize unprecedented electronic surveillance of Zionist settlers and block parliament from pressing ahead with legislation aimed at pushing him from office.

The moves, on the heels of the apartheid entity’s third inconclusive election in less than a year and under the shadow of Netanyahu's corruption indictment, sparked leading opposition figure Yair Lapid to tell settlers that they "no longer live in a democracy."

Meanwhile, the number of cases infected with the new Coronavirus in the ‘Israeli’-occupied territories exceeded 400, roughly a quarter of them detected in the last 24 hours.
