Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich condemned the “attempted ramming of outpost pioneers in Gush Etzion by a Jewish anarchist,” claiming it is a “direct result of the incitement campaign by Yair Golan and his friends on the left.” The Religious Zionism party chairman called on President Isaac Herzog “to condemn the violence within us,” and for Yair Golan, Gadi Eisenkot and Naftali Bennett “to retract their statements that they will evacuate the outposts after the elections. Any other response will constitute a continuation of the incitement to violence against the outpost pioneers.”
