Yisrael Beytenu leader Gadi Eisenkot responded to the break-in by Haredi protesters at the Beit Shemesh police station overnight, claiming it was “a black flag on Israeli democracy and on Israel as a state of law where everyone is equal before it.” He stated that the police must arrest all those involved and attacked the government: “Prime Minister, ministers of the Israeli government and Knesset members from Likud and Religious Zionism – in this incident too, the responsibility is on you. Your silence is another grave chapter in the state Israel has deteriorated to.”
