Blue and White Chairman MK Benny Gantz responded to the attack in Monsey in which five people were wounded.

"I send my wishes to the wounded in the hate attack in Monsey, New York. We are witnessing a multiplicity of attacks against Jews around the world, and this shocking incident during a Hanukkah party is another testament to the global problem we face.

"I have no doubt that U.S. authorities who put their hand on the stabber will treat him with zero tolerance and do everything possible to mitigate the phenomenon," he added.
