Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned yesterday's incident of violence against anti-government demonstrators. Netanyahu stated July 29, "There is no place for violence for any reason." Still, he added that threats against him and against his family should be prevented, saying, “At the same time, there is no place for incitement and threats of murder, implicit and explicit, against me or my family.”
The protesters were demonstrating outside the Tel Aviv home of Public Security Minister Amir Ohana. The demonstration was organized after reports emerged that Ohana had pressured police to crack down on anti-Netanyahu demonstrators. Five anti-Netanyahu demonstrators were injured and hospitalized after a group of people attacked them with clubs and glass bottles.
