Democrats Party Activists Attacked in Tel Aviv's Tikva Market, Two Arrested

Activists from the Democrats Party were physically and verbally assaulted on Friday at the Tikva Market in Tel Aviv. Police from the Tel Aviv station arrested two suspects in connection with the attack. According to the police, a group gathered around the activists' booth and some individuals attacked them.

Knesset member Gilad Kariv condemned the violence, stating, "Raised hands belong to violent gangs. Their voice is Netanyahu's and his poison machine that incites against us daily." He emphasized, "We are not afraid of them. They fear us and our messages. We will continue to visit Tikva Market and other places across the country to speak openly because these thugs do not represent the broader Israeli public."

Knesset member Naama Lazimi expressed shock over the attack, attributing it to extreme incitement from the outgoing government and its propaganda channels. She warned that this is a preview of what the government plans for the elections. Lazimi criticized the political police and the "Kahanist Shin Bet chief," saying Israeli citizens have no security under such conditions. She vowed that the Democrats Party will not back down, will ensure the attackers face justice, and will work to remove the current government, aiming to lead a responsible change government soon.
