A fake death certificate has been circulating in some circles bearing the name of Meretz MK Tamar Zandberg, who is alive, in what is an ongoing trend of incitement against politicians in the anti-Netanyahu bloc.

The death certificate, dated May 30, was shared online by Labor MK Emilie Moatti, who blasted it as an example of incitement.
Zandberg left her home due to recent harassment and threats on her life, following a bill she submitted on religious engagement. According to the bill, a person who tries to persuade a minor to return to Orthodox Judaism could risk six months in prison.
 
Further incitement has been levied at various politicians as attempts are rapidly under way to form a unity government, centered on Yair Lapid’s Yesh Atid and Naftali Bennett’s Yamina, which would oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from power.
 
On Sunday, hundreds of protesters gathered outside the home of Yamina MK Ayelet Shaked to blast her party for trying to form a unity government.
 
Protesters on the pro-Netanyahu side chanted “Leftist traitors, a danger to the Jews,” and held up several signs that labeled Bennett and Shaked as “traitors” and “liars.”
 
On Monday, Meretz MK Yair Golan took to Twitter to criticize an edited picture depicting Bennett wearing a keffiyeh.

"Enough, you've done enough, enough with the incitement, enough with your hatred. Enough," Golan admonished.
