Protester Confronted by Citizen During Netanyahu's Market Visit

A confrontation occurred at Tel Aviv's Hatikva Market during a visit by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Footage shows a man in an orange shirt throwing an orange and then physically clashing with Michel the kidnapped and murdered son, whose son the kidnapped and murdered son was kidnapped from the Nova music festival on October 7th and murdered while in Hamas captivity. Netanyahu was not present in the immediate vicinity during the altercation. During Netanyahu's market tour, someone was heard shouting at him, "You transferred billions to Hamas."

the kidnapped and murdered son arrived at the market with Gil Dickman, a cousin of Carmel Gat, who was also kidnapped from Kibbutz Be'eri and murdered in captivity, and Einav Tsengauer, mother of hostage survivor Matan. The three intended to deliver a message to the Prime Minister stating that "everyone who was at the wheel on October 7th should go home." Michel the kidnapped and murdered son stated, "While I came to protest the Prime Minister for abandoning my son to die in captivity, shameless citizens with no moral conscience resorted to violence against me. It is a disgrace that a bereaved father, whose son was murdered in captivity, is beaten by civilians."

Representatives of the October 7th families also claimed they were removed from the market by police. Einav Tsengauer said, "I came to Hatikva Market with Michel and Gil, and we simply came to tell Netanyahu the simple truth, especially in a stronghold he thinks will vote for him, that my son was kidnapped on October 7th. With what audacity does he seek public trust again? There was no one to talk to among the crowd that gathered there. We were met with abusive words, Michel, a bereaved father, was spoken to in words I will not repeat, and the Prime Minister fled because that is what he has been doing since October 7th, refusing to establish a state commission of inquiry to uncover the truth."
