Gadi Eisenkot: “A handful of criminals is burning up the last shreds of legitimacy left to the state of Israel.”

I demand a comprehensive, thorough, and rapid investigation, and call on police to arrest those responsible and bring them to justice.

We recognise that these elections are critical to the future of the state.

Authorities must send a clear message, particularly during the election campaign, that political violence would not be accepted.

The IDF operates according to clear values and in accordance with international law, with a deep conviction in the justice of its cause.
