Chairman of the Labor Party, Minister of Transportation Merav Michaeli, commented on the cancellation of the LGBT parade in Netivot following death threats against event organizers.
"Whoever threatens to murder the leaders of a Pride Parade threatens us all, as well as our freedom. We will never succumb to violence. We will not succumb to incitement. We will not succumb to anyone who wants to ruin our lives," she was quoted as saying.
