Sa’ar: Danger of war between citizens; Liberman: PM, police minister to blame
New Hope party leader Gideon Sa’ar warns that the scenes of chaos in Bat Yam, Haifa, Acre, Lod and elsewhere “do not leave room for doubt: We are in danger of sliding into a war between citizens.”
He adds: “Our commitment to our children in this country obliges us all to act to calm the spirits.”
Yisrael Beytenu party head Avigdor Liberman blames “the recklessness of the prime minister and public security minister, who are both responsible and to blame for the situation.”
