The Jerusalem Post • • world
Key Points:
- A man in his 20s was detained after being found with a knife near The Democrats’ Chairman Yair Golan during a campaign event in Tel Aviv, prompting police questioning.
- Israel Police had previously raised Golan’s threat level to four out of six, and the Shin Bet has taken over responsibility for his security, funded by the state.
- Golan condemned the attack as a result of incitement by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his allies, urging citizens to vote to protect democracy and security.
- MK Gilad Kariv also blamed Netanyahu and his partners for inciting violence, drawing parallels to past incitement against Yitzhak Rabin and calling for continued resistance through voting.
