'Arabs want to live': Left-wing protesters attempt to breach Religious Zionist party headquarters
Party members were instructed by their leadership not to leave their offices, and Israel Police are en route to the scene.
On Wednesday morning, left-wing activists from Standing Together attempted to forcibly enter the Religious Zionist Party's headquarters in Shoam. The group, whose members had red-painted hands, chanted "Arabs want to live" while banging on the doors. In a statement, the protesters claimed they had sat on the floor and continued chanting slogans criticizing the party and its policies.
The Religious Zionist Party initially reported that the doors were locked and members were prevented from leaving, but later clarified that the doors were indeed unlocked and that party members were free to exit as they wished.
Following the protest, the Religious Zionist Party called on opposition leaders to condemn the far-left violence and urged police to investigate the incident and protect the safety of its employees in Israel. The party cited incitement by Yair Golan and his associates, as well as Gadi Eisenkot's alleged silence, as the catalyst for the protest.
In response to the situation, the party demanded that opposition leaders, including Eisenkot, Naftali Bennett, and Chili Tropper, speak out against the violent far-left rhetoric that they deemed to be fueled by incitement against the settler community.
