Following an incident in which she was allegedly attacked and about which she first told yesterday.

Now she has to defend her version, but chooses not to do so.

MK Silman, who was a guest yesterday on the "Meet the Press" program on News 12 hosted by Rina Matzliach, was asked about the threats she receives, during which she said that two weeks ago she was physically assaulted at a gas station and thrown by an anonymous attacker. "Two weeks ago I had a one-time case , That a man threw me in the car.

When Successful asked to dwell on the story MK Silman summed it up by saying that “I understood how words can be dangerous.

At that moment, I realized that I was putting everything aside and that we were passing a budget. "

Many questions began to arise in the wake of Silman's testimony.

Why did she not report the incident to the Knesset officer?

Why did she not file a complaint with the police?

As stated, according to the coalition chairman, the incident took place at a gas station in Modi'in and the gas stations are being photographed. But this morning, Silman chose not to respond to the storm that erupted following the interview.

In response to MK Silman's remarks, it appears that the opposition chose to sting the coalition member, and this morning MKs Moshe Arbel and Michael Malkieli of Shas appealed to the Minister of Internal Security and the police commissioner to investigate the case and locate the person responsible for MK Silman's alleged assault.

Physical assault of Knesset members is an event that rarely happens.

MK Arbel wrote that a violent attack on Knesset members is "crossing a red line.

"This is a very serious allegation that requires an speedy investigation and the completion of the proceedings against the perpetrator."

MK Silman's response will be brought when it is received.
