MK Meir Porush issued a sharply worded statement Thursday evening following the vehicle incidents that occurred during chareidi protests on Highway 4 and elsewhere in central Israel, placing blame on Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara and Supreme Court Justice Noam Sohlberg for what he described as a dangerous escalation.

Porush accused the legal establishment of creating the conditions that have fueled growing tensions surrounding the arrests of yeshiva bochurim and the broader confrontation over the status of Torah learners.

“Attorney Baharav-Miara and Justice Sohlberg, thank you for bringing this calamity upon the people of Israel,” Porush said in a statement.

The veteran UTJ lawmaker argued that chareidi representatives had repeatedly warned that continued arrests of yeshiva students and other measures directed at the Torah world would deepen divisions and intensify confrontations within Israeli society.

“We warned you again and again that your conduct would lead the people of Israel to a civil war, and you did not listen,” he said.

Porush concluded by calling for an immediate change in policy and urging decision-makers to reverse course before the situation deteriorates further.

“Come to your senses before it is too late,” he said.

The remarks came after a tense evening of demonstrations and traffic disruptions across central Israel, during which two people were injured in separate vehicle-related incidents. Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the events, and officials have not determined whether either incident was intentional.
