Bayit Yehudi Yoni Chetboun, a member of the Knesset Foreign Affairs Committee, speaking at the demonstration taking place outside the PM's office, called for his party to consider leaving the coalition if the proposal to free terrorists is passed.
He said: "An Israeli government that frees such terrorists, gives in to terror and turns its back on bereaved families, is not the place for the Bayit Yehudi party. A government that abandons its principles so quickly just to begin negotiations will not hesitate to uproot communities either."
He praised Bayit Yehudi head Naftali Bennett for opposing the proposal, but said that "freeing terrorist murderers of Jews is a red line and a march of evil that must be stopped in its tracks, or every Palestinian Arab mother will know that there is nothing to worry about if her son is arrested, he will soon be freed by someone."
