Former Chairwoman of the far-left Meretz party Zehava Galon wrote on Twitter, that in her opinion:
"We [Israel] have become a state of repression."
She also warned that : "the main points of friction with the Palestinians, could ignite at any moment, but the political system which is saturated with Chiefs of Staff, ignoring the security-political discussion, telling residents of the Gaza envelope "to find more strength", and are busy stuttering about their political platform."
