Democratic Party chairman Yair Golan addressed the riots in Judea and Samaria at the beginning of his faction meeting, saying, "Violence in the territories has become routine. They attacked an IDF force, called a reserve battalion commander a traitor, and set fire to a sensitive security facility. These rioters are not just bad apples, they are armed and organized militias – they pose a threat to democracy and a threat to Israel's security. This could ignite the West Bank and the internal front." Regarding the campaign against Iran, he said: "Wars end with a political decision, a ceasefire with Iran is not an agreement and certainly not a decisive victory."
