Yisrael Beytenu Chairman Gadi Eisenkot wrote on X that "the footage of violent lawbreakers attacking Washington Post photographer Heidi Levine (aged 64) is unacceptable. This handful of rioters does not represent the public in Israel. The actions of this handful stain an entire country and severely harm the security of all Israeli citizens and IDF soldiers. I support the IDF's sharp and clear condemnation of the incident. The Israel Police must take harsh measures against this criminal violence."
