Netanyahu calls for calm, as far right groups threaten violence

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has urged protesters across the political spectrum to "behave responsibly". 

"I call on all the demonstrators in Jerusalem, on the right and the left, to behave responsibly and not to act violently. We are brotherly people," he tweeted on Monday. 

Right-wing activists were using Whatsapp and other social media platforms to call on supporters to take up arms and use vehicles to attack anti-government protesters, according to Haaretz. 

In one group, known as 'The Unapologetic Right', a member called on protesters to bring "gasoline, explosives, tractors, guns and knives".
