A man armed with a knife was arrested Tuesday in Tel Aviv's Mesila Park after approaching Yair Golan, the Chairman of the Democrats party, during a voter mobilization tour. According to the party, Golan's security guards noticed a suspicious individual in a jacket approaching him menacingly. The guards blocked the suspect's path, and during the encounter, a large knife fell from his clothing onto the ground. The security team immediately apprehended the man, preventing him from acting. Police, who were called to the scene, arrested the suspect and took him for questioning.
Following the incident, Golan stated, "The 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 ensure the country we love so much returns to being a free and safe place."
