The “Breaking the Silence” organization responded on Monday to statements made by Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon about the organization and said that “The citizens of the State of Israel expect their Defense Minister to provide them and their children with security, not with false and pathetic political incitement.”

The organization further announced that “While terror runs rampant through the streets and civilians are being stabbed and wounded every day, Defense Minister Ya’alon, whose role is to protect and defend the citizens, instead attacks the soldiers and warriors… who oppose the occupation. ‘Breaking the Silence’ is not in possession of any state secrets; Ya’alon is the first to know that.”
