Democrats leader Yair Golan also responded to Defense Minister Israel Katz's remarks, in which Katz blamed Golan and opposition party leaders for "every attack on Israel and every terrorist act." "Such a statement from Israel's defense minister is primarily a statement that indicates panic and hysteria. This man proves he is not mentally stable. This is an irresponsible, insane statement. The incitement is working, and this illustrates why we must not sit with these people," he said.
