Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused the opposition of fuelling “anarchy” in Israel after thousands massed at anti-government protests in recent days, AFP reports.

Addressing the opposition during a speech in parliament, Netanyahu said: “You recycle the same worn-out and ridiculous slogans about ‘the end of democracy’. Well, once and for all: democracy is not in danger, it is the power of the bureaucrats that is in danger.

“Perhaps you could stop fuelling the sedition, hatred and anarchy in the streets?” he added.
