Yair Golan, chairman of the Democrats party, launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday, accusing him of "building the conditions for the next Yigal Amir." Golan made the remarks during a visit to the memorial for assassinated Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in Tel Aviv, just hours after activists from his party were assaulted in Shoham. The incident in Shoham involved a 19-year-old who attacked supporters of the Democrats party with sticks and a helmet, and spat at them.
At the Rabin memorial, where Golan was joined by Knesset members, candidates from the Democrats, former senior officials from the Labor and Meretz parties, and representatives of European social democratic parties, he laid a wreath. Tel Aviv-Yafo Mayor Ron Huldai also attended the ceremony marking Rabin's memorial day.
Alongside his criticism of Netanyahu, Golan presented his vision for Israel, stating, "We will rise up and rebuild Israel anew in the spirit of the Declaration of Independence." He emphasized that those present were "people of the Declaration of Independence" committed to building "a free, egalitarian, and democratic state" that serves as the "national home of the Jewish people."
Golan also referenced the message inscribed on the Rabin memorial, "Peace is his testament," asserting, "Peace is the best security. We must not forget that."
