Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana attacked Democratic Party chairman Yair Golan at the opening of the plenum, saying: 'This morning in a disgraceful interview, a party leader in Israel and former Knesset member claimed that the State of Israel kills babies as a hobby.' He added: 'This terrible blood libel, which recalls the most antisemitic blood libels, has already become an established fact among Israel's greatest enemies and those who hate the Jewish people worldwide from the moment it was uttered. It's not just against the state, but against its officers, soldiers, and warriors.' According to him, 'No apology or clarification that may or may not come will be able to fix this.'
