In response to the assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump, National Unity Party leader Benny Gantz quoted the late Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, stressing that “violence destroys the foundations of democracy.”
Gantz urged for more civilized political dialogue in Israel.
“Violence is a danger to any democratic society, and we must not remain indifferent to it, no matter from which side it comes, no matter how great our differences. It is forbidden to use physical or verbal violence against demonstrators and politicians,” Gantz emphasized.
He stressed the need for responsible behavior on the part of all political leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in light of the dissemination of inflammatory information online in his name.
