Likud MK Nir Barkat referred to the Leftist demonstrations in recent weeks and clashes with the police.
"We must stop before it's too late! Every party is allowed to demonstrate, argue, and criticize, but we mustn't degenerate into physical and verbal violence and damage the fabric of the people of Israel or the symbols of the State. In the week that Tisha B'Av falls and we mark the destruction of the Temple for baseless hatred, we must stop for a moment and remember that we're one people."
