Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday addressed reports about significant foreign funding flowing into opposition protests, calling them a “so-called ‘popular and spontaneous’ movement.”

“And speaking of the protests, you surely saw the reports yesterday about the massive sums of money—truly almost inconceivable amounts—that flowed here from foreign governments to fuel the opposition protests, the so-called ‘popular and spontaneous’ movement,” Netanyahu stated.

The premier and head of the Likud party and ruling coalition delivered the address to the plenum during the debate on the no-confidence motions submitted by parliamentary groups from the opposition.
