An unusual incident occurred Tuesday during a voter encouragement tour by Yair Golan, chairman of the Democrats party, at the Mesila Park in Tel Aviv. A stranger approached Golan, raising the suspicion of his security detail. When security forces approached the individual, they discovered he was armed with a knife and subsequently arrested him.
According to the party, the man was "dressed in a jacket in a threatening manner." Golan's security guards intercepted him, and as they approached, a large knife fell from his clothing onto the ground. Security personnel immediately apprehended him before he could act.
Police were summoned to the scene, and the man was arrested and taken for further investigation. Following the incident, Golan stated, "Incitement and violence will not deter us. This is a direct result of the poison machine operated by Netanyahu and his Qatari agents. I call on everyone who holds security and democracy dear to go out and vote now so we can ensure the country we love so much returns to being a free and safe place."
