Deputy Knesset Speaker MK Meir Cohen (Blue and White) in response to the escalation in the south: "While Hamas and Islamic Jihad are deepening their psychological victory and controlling the level of the flame, southern residents are closed up in fear in the bomb shelters, and Rightist activists on Netanyahu's mission adopt Left-wing slogans: 'How long must we be humane and seek calm?' Bibi, you're weak."
