The Yashar party, led by Gadi Eisenkot, released a statement Monday evening wishing a speedy recovery to activist Ilan Mans, who was severely beaten last Friday while attempting to remove a sign calling for the release of Yigal Amir. The party called on the Israel Police to immediately apprehend the attackers and bring them to justice, according to a statement reported by N12.
The Yashar party, led by former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, issued a statement Monday evening expressing solidarity with activist Ilan Mans, who was severely beaten on Friday while attempting to remove a sign demanding the release of Yigal Amir — the assassin of former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. The party called on the Israel Police to immediately apprehend the attackers and prosecute them to the full extent of the law, per a statement reported by N12.
The incident is the latest in a series of confrontations surrounding signs calling for Amir's release that have appeared in public spaces. Earlier Monday, The Zioneer reported on a separate attack in which a man was hospitalized with a brain hemorrhage after attempting to remove a similar sign. The Yigal Amir sign controversy has repeatedly sparked clashes between activists seeking to remove the signs and those who support the message, often leading to legal and police involvement.
