A man was apprehended on Tuesday in Tel Aviv's HaMesila Park after approaching Yair Golan, the leader of The Democrats party, who was campaigning for voter turnout. Golan's security team intercepted the individual, and a large knife fell from his clothing, according to a party statement. Security personnel subdued the man before he could act and handed him over to police who arrived at the scene. Authorities have not yet clarified the circumstances or the suspect's intentions. The party reported that police had previously raised the threat level against Golan to 4 out of 6. His security has been handled by the Shin Bet since Monday, following a lengthy legal process, the statement added. "Incitement and violence will not deter us," Golan stated, attributing the incident to Benjamin Netanyahu's "poison machine" and urging Israelis to vote for the country to become "a free and safe place" again. These accusations are part of his political response and have not been substantiated by authorities.
