Minister Wasserlauf Verbally Attacked at Hospital by Left-Wing Activist

Minister of the Negev, Galilee and National Resilience Yitzhak Wasserlauf was verbally attacked by a left-wing activist while waiting for a medical appointment with his newborn son at Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv. The incident occurred just days after his wife, Moriyah, gave birth to their child. Video footage shows a woman shouting insults at Wasserlauf, referencing his political affiliation with the Otzma Yehudit party and blaming him for the October 7th events. She questioned his presence in Tel Aviv, telling him to go to the Galilee, and called him a "peacock."

Left-wing activist Ami Dror shared the video and, instead of condemning the harassment, called for politicians to be pursued. "It is imperative to chase them everywhere! It is imperative to chase the criminals of 'We will die and not enlist' and the offenders of 'Hamas is an asset'," Dror wrote.

Minister of National Security and Otzma Yehudit Chairman Itamar Ben-Gvir strongly condemned the attack, calling it a violation of moral and human boundaries. He criticized the left-wing for not condemning such behavior when directed at right-wing figures, stating, "Where are all those knights of democracy and moralizers who are shocked by violence and bullying? When it comes to politicians from the right, suddenly everyone falls silent." Ben-Gvir concluded by expressing support for Wasserlauf, saying, "Dear Yitzhak, we love you, we strengthen you, and we are proud of you! No bullying or hatred will harm your mission and your path."
