Yitzhak Goldknopf, chairman of the United Torah Judaism party and a former minister, commented on events from the previous night, during which extremist Haredi youths attacked IDF soldiers attempting to apprehend a draft dodger. Instead of condemning the Haredi youths, Goldknopf directed his criticism towards the security forces. "The scenes last night are shocking and infuriating," he stated. Goldknopf described the police's nighttime raid on a private home to apprehend a yeshiva student as a "stain on a Jewish state," asserting that the student's only offense was studying Torah. He further claimed that the persecution of Torah scholars has reached its peak and placed responsibility on the Prime Minister. Goldknopf vowed that his faction would not remain silent and would fight for their right to maintain a Jewish way of life in Israel.
