MK Avi Maoz (Religious Zionism) commented on the Haim Walder affair, saying "I call on anyone who has been harmed or injured, wherever they are, to complain to the police about any incident in which they were harmed. I ache and grieve for every woman or boy who has been hurt. They deserve to be helped as much as possible."
"We must remember that the presumption of innocence stands for every person and is a fundamental rule in a society that desires life. I call on the public to follow the verse 'Do not think evil of one another in your heart.' We must give the authorities the time to deal with criminal and inappropriate acts," Maoz added.
