Police reportedly opened an investigation Thursday into far-right provocateur Mordechai David and a number of others after they blocked former Supreme Court president Aharon Barak from driving away from a Tel Aviv parking lot outside a conference where he spoke the night before.

According to Hebrew media, David is to be interrogated alongside several other men on suspicion of disturbing public order after they stood in front of the 89-year-old retired judge’s car while David lambasted him as a “dictator” and “criminal.”

Police are expected to summon David for questioning, the Walla outlet reported.

David opened the door to Barak’s car and filmed himself calling the 89-year-old the “Khamenei of our generation,” referring to Iran’s authoritarian supreme leader. “Lucky for us, his generation has passed. We are the new generation, the generation of the messianic age,” David said in the recording.

Officers are reportedly examining whether David and the other activists committed any other offenses, the Ynet outlet said. Police did not respond to a request for comment confirming the investigation.

David reportedly also blocked the car of former prime minister Ehud Barak — no relation to the former chief justice — as he left the event, a conference of the Movement for Quality Government in Israel, and there was an altercation between the right-wing activists and left-wing activists who arrived.

בתום הכנס של התנועה לאיכות השלטון, חוסמים מרדכי דוד ופעילים נוספים את רכבו של נשיא בית המשפט העליון לשעבר, אהרן ברק, ומונעים ממנו לצאת מהמקום
