Against the background of his attack on Sheikh Jarrah by MK and chairman of "Otzma Yehudit," Itamar Ben Gvir, Knesset factions are convening at this time (Monday) for meetings.
The Labor Party will convene at 2:50 p.m., "Blue and White" will convene at 3:10 p.m., and the Likud Party at 3:30 p.m.
Foreign Minister and Chairman Yesh Atid Yair Lapid addressed the crisis at the Ukrainian border at the beginning of the meeting and said: "I repeatedly call on Israelis in Ukraine: Do not take unnecessary risks, come home.
In English they say: Better safe than sorry.
It is better to be careful than to regret it. "
"There is a global effort to prevent war - it is really not certain that it will succeed. If war breaks out, it will be much harder to board flights, it will be much harder to leave Ukraine and return to Israel. The Foreign Ministry will increase its manpower in Kiev. "Representation in Lvov. We will make sure that every Israeli and every Jew who wants to come home, will receive all the help they need."
"I know that Kiev is calm on the streets, but it is a misleading impression. There is a pool of forces in the east of the country. There is a pool of forces on the border with Belarus. If there is a deterioration it will be rapid and dramatic. It can still be prevented. "In the meantime, I call on Israelis to return home this week."
On the clashes in Sheikh Jarrah, Lapid said: "Ben Gvir is not in Sheikh Jarrah to protect residents, but to set the area on fire. Just as he did in the past."
Last night, MK Ben Gvir confronted police officers in a neighborhood in East Jerusalem. He was taken to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital. According to the police, the police officers who were there tried to calm him down and prevent his rampage.
Clashes between Palestinians and Jews in the neighborhood have begun since the Yoshaviev family's home was set on fire last Friday, and they escalated yesterday after Ben Gvir set up a "parliamentary chamber" in it in protest of the arson.
