Police in Tel Aviv arrested a Jerusalem resident in his 20s on Tuesday after a knife was found in his possession near Yair Golan, the Chairman of the Democrats, at the Train Track Park. The police clarified that contrary to some reports, there was no stabbing attempt. According to the police statement, officers providing security for a public figure noticed a suspicious object protruding from the coat of an individual standing nearby. The man was stopped for a check, during which the knife was discovered. The suspect was arrested and taken for questioning at the Lev Tel Aviv station to clarify the circumstances of the incident.

A statement released on behalf of Golan described the event as a suspected stabbing attempt. According to this account, during a tour to encourage voting, a man approached Golan in a manner described as threatening, and his security guards blocked him. It was also claimed that a large knife fell from the man's clothing and hit the ground, and the guards then subdued him.

In response, Yair 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." The investigation into the incident is ongoing.
