President Isaac Herzog condemned the attack on Hadash chairman Ayman Odeh, saying: "I strongly condemn the violence used tonight against Member of Knesset Ayman Odeh in Nes Ziona." According to him, "Violence crosses a red line and has no place or justification in Israeli society - not toward a public servant and not toward any person. The use of criminal violence is not only wrong and against the law, but poses a deep threat to Israeli democracy. Those responsible for this ugly act must face the full severity of the law."
