MK Dan Illouz (Likud) responded to the attack on the offices of the Kohelet Forum, "There are legitimate ways to demonstrate. This is not one of them. I stand by my friends in the Kohelet Forum. As someone who worked there for many years, I know their work. They are all people who have the good of the State of Israel in their hearts, for whom the values of a free market, freedom, and governance for all citizens of the State of Israel are guiding values. They are also strong people who will not let bullying scare them, and it is better that way".
