Brinish Zehava Beck, who threw an apple at Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu during a Saturday night election gathering, told Channel 12 News, Sunday evening, "I was shocked, my first time at a conference of people who are supposed to lead us and set us a personal example. All they did there was a campaign of incitement."
Brinish criticized Netanyahu and said she "thinks that this country's leader is a person who is very detached from the ground on which we live." She added, "The society in Israel is in a state of internal rift.

At the end of the interview, Beck apologized for the comparison.
