| [IsraelTimes] Knesset guards are examining an envelope containing a suspicious powder sent to coalition whip Ofir Katz’s Knesset office, a Knesset spokesperson announces. “In accordance with the security procedures for such events – an update has been forwarded to the Israel Police and the envelope and the suspicious material inside will be forwarded for further examination by the authorities,” the Knesset says in a statement. Just under a week ago, another envelope “containing a suspicious powder” was sent to Health Minister Uriel Busso’s Knesset office, the second time in under a year that Busso’s office had been targeted in this manner. Last month, Knesset Constitution, Law and Justice Committee chairman Simcha Rothman also said he had received a “suspicious envelope” and accused the Shin Bet security service of falling down on the job. Also last month, police announced that they were investigating several threatening letters that had been sent to elected officials and their families. According to Channel 12, these included Likud MK Shalom Danino and United Torah Judaism lawmaker Moshe Roth. |
