Yaïr Golan : La Police Dément Une Tentative De Poignardement À Tel-Aviv, en Israël
Police said the suspect’s intentions remain unclear as security guards stopped him before anyone was hurt.
On Tuesday, police arrested a man carrying a large knife at Railway Park in Tel Aviv after he approached Yair Golan, leader of the Democrats, during a campaign tour in a suspected stabbing attempt.
The Shin Bet assumed responsibility for Golan's security on Monday following a prolonged legal battle, as police had previously classified the threat level against him as 4 on a six-point scale.
While the Democrats claimed an unidentified man approached Golan "in a threatening manner," police stated the suspect did not threaten him at any stage, arresting him instead for knife possession.
"Incitement and violence will not deter us," Golan said, blaming the incident on a "poison machine" operated by Prime Minister Netanyahu and his Qatari agents, while urging Israelis to vote.
Authorities have not established the suspect's intentions or confirmed a political motive, as police have yet to release further details regarding the incident occurring during Israel's general election.
