Ex-Supreme Court chief Aharon Barak says he fears Israel headed to civil war
The rift in the people is immense, with no effort made to heal it, jurist says, adding that if he were still chief justice, he would block PMs dismissal of Shin Bet chief, AG
Israels most revered jurist, former Supreme Court president Aharon Barak, said in multiple interviews Thursday that he fears the governments latest actions, including moves to fire the Shin Bet chief and attorney general, are pushing the country toward civil war.
Speaking to the Ynet news site shortly before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened the cabinet to vote on firing Bar, Barak said that the main problem in Israeli society is
the severe rift between Israelis.
This rift is getting worse and in the end, I fear, it will be like a train that goes off the tracks and plunges into a chasm, causing a civil war, he said.
In another interview, with Channel 12, when asked why he thinks Israel is close to civil conflict, Barak said it is because the rift in the people is immense, and no effort is being made to heal it. Everyone is trying to make it worse.
Today there are demonstrations, then a car drives through them and runs over someone, he said, referring to an incident at an anti-Netanyahu protest in Jerusalem on Wednesday when a driver rammed into a protester, injuring him.
But tomorrow there will be shootings, and the day after that there will be bloodshed, Barak continued.
