Drama at the Park HaMesila in Tel Aviv: A man armed with a knife approached Yair Golan, chairman of the Democrats party, during an election campaign tour, and was arrested on the spot by his security guards. The guards noticed a man approaching in a threatening manner, and when they approached him, a large knife fell from his clothing. Police forces called to the scene arrested the suspect, whose intentions remain unclear. The incident occurs against the backdrop of the increased risk level set for Golan to level 4 out of 6, and a day after the Shin Bet took responsibility for his security. Golan responded harshly and accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: "The incitement and violence will not deter us; this is a direct result of the poison machine operated by Netanyahu and his Qatari agents."
