Defense Minister Benny Gantz on Tuesday condemned the attack on Channel 13 News journalist Avishai Ben-Haim during the protest in Jerusalem.

"Journalists in the State of Israel can and should make their voices heard - without threats, without dictates. I condemn the threats against Channel 13 News commentator Avishai Ben-Haim. The right to demonstrate is sacred and so is freedom of the press and expression," Gantz tweeted.
