Knesset Speaker Ohana Condemns Hostile Signs Targeting Children

Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana revealed on Tuesday that hostile signs and stickers, bearing messages such as "Hamas collaboration" and "no atonement," were placed along the route his children take to school on the first day of the academic year. Ohana, who was attending a school opening event in Ma'ale Adumim with the mayor, was not present when the incident occurred.

Speaking in an interview with "7 Sharon Gal," Ohana described the first day of school, September 1st, as traditionally a day of celebration and unity, expressing dismay at the actions. "These people have no limits? They've lost their minds. Who are they looking for? Children going to the seventh grade," he stated.

Ohana emphasized that the signs were deliberately placed at a low height along the children's familiar path to school, suggesting they were intended to intimidate the children and their classmates, rather than himself. "These stickers, so low down that the children can see this thing, because it's not meant for me, it's meant for them. It's meant for their friends at the school desks," he said.

He also referenced a social media post by an advisor on Yair Golan's "Democrats" campaign team, which stated, "We've only just begun" in relation to the incident. Ohana interpreted this as a warning of what could follow if such individuals were to gain control of the country's leadership. Ohana concluded by unequivocally labeling the act of harassing children as a criminal offense.
