Education Minister Naftali Bennett (Jewish Home) denounced the incitement against Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon (Likud) during a speech at the Midrasha (religious seminaries for girls) Forum.
"Sadly there are political officials on the right and the left, including in my own party and of course across social networks, who have crossed a red line," he said.
"I often criticize the Defense Minister. I believed, and still do believe, that we cannot convict the soldier before holding a trial. But I never forget who we are talking about. Someone who dedicated all his life to Israel's security. Woe to those who incite against him."
