During the ceremony, treacherous cries were heard at Saar and the MKs, Yoav Kish and Sharan Shelley who supported him in the primaries. In addition, Likud activists began to fight the ceremony and a riot ensued.
At the same time, Blue and White Chairman Benny Gantz lit candles this evening with the Western Wall Rabbi and the Spanish Chief Rabbi at the Western Wall. During the lighting of the candles he said: "We stand at the foot of the Western Wall - the remains of our Temple. The place that connects all parts of the nation to Israel. The holy wall behind me - it has small, medium and large bricks, like it is with our Israel. We will all be blessed and bring together a great light of unity in the people of Israel. "

He added that he "seeks to strengthen IDF soldiers. Those who sit everywhere - in the south and the north, are the Maccabees of today. They guard the people of Israel for the benefit of all the inhabitants of the land. We will also strengthen the communities abroad after the last event we went through just tonight. Happy Chanukah. "
