The Democrats party chairman Yair Golan accuses Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government of inciting violence, after a taxi driver rammed an anti-government protester in Jerusalem this evening.
The incident was “a terrorist attack,” the left-wing leader claims on X, asserting that the “violence against patriotic protesters is a direct result of the hatred, lies, and incitement emanating directly from the Israeli government.”
