President Isaac Herzog attended the "Unity Day" event and condemned recent remarks made by Rabbi Meir Mazuz, perceived as comparing members of the Bennett-Lapid government to Nazis, although Rabbi Mazuz denies this and says he was deliberately misquoted.
"There are words that must be deleted from our lexicon," Herzog said. "There are expressions that cannot be tolerated. Not in politics, not in the public sphere, not in the media.The introduction of Nazis into Israeli public discourse is a red line that must not be crossed."
