Interior Minister Eli Yishai and Deputy Health Minister Yakov Litzman on Monday received threat letters containing a suspicious powder. The police checked the powder and ordered the two not to enter their offices.

Similar envelopes with curses and white powder were received Sunday by two United Torah Judaism Knesset members.

The letters were taken by the Knesset officer and an investigation has been launched into the incident. The white substance had yet to be identified.

Opposition Chairwoman Tzipi Livni addressed the threat letters during a conference in the southern city of Yeruham. “I have heated arguments with haredi Knesset members, but I will be the first person to say that such actions must be condemned and denounced,” she stated.

On Sunday YWN Israel reported that Chredi MK’s recieved threatening letters along with a white powder in the envelopes.
