The Israeli President said the threat was part of the heated political discourse in the country.

“Political conflict, no matter how deep, should not reach violence, thuggery and death threats,” he wrote on Twitter, noting that “we must lower the flames of the political discourse.”

It was not the first time Bennett and other leaders of the ruling coalition have received death threats, mainly by far-right activists, according to Kan TV.
