Knesset speaker on Jerusalem clashes: Police must act before we come to bloodshed

More criticism from the government over the behavior of protesters in Jerusalem yesterday:

Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana argues “yesterday’s events join the rising incitement that characterized the days prior to October 7.” He calls on police “to take action to thwart the danger before we come to bloodshed, God forbid.”

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant says he “strongly condemn[s] the violent actions against the prime minister… disrupting the work of policemen and Shin Bet officials at this time endangers our security and even more so our unity, which is critical to our existence.”
