Opposition leader Yitzhak Herzog said on Monday that “If Israel had a Prime Minister, he would not incite against one fifth of Israeli citizens and turn them into law-breakers. If Israel had a Prime Minister, he would act day and night to stop the horrible terror that is running rampant through our streets”

“This is no car accident, nor is it a disease or any other excuse. This is not a wave that will pass; this is a third intifada,” Herzog added.
