Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein (Likud) has used his Facebook page to comment on the fire at B'Tselem's offices, and to criticize leaders on the left for hurrying to blame the government for arson.

"I was relieved when I heard that the fire at B'Tselem's offices was an accident and not arson. It's unfortunate that too many that hurried to take advantage of the time before it was finally clarified by sending their flames towards officials from the other camp, as if they had a hand in it"

He added: "'Wise ones, be careful of what you say.' Public officials, be careful not to add unnecessary fuel to the flames of the dispute between us."
