The government is rejecting the heavy public criticism against the background of the demonstrations, the reform and last night's events in Hawara. A senior official in the government tells Israel Hayom: "It is true that the situation is not simple, but the violence against the government is disproportionate."
The official added that "the attacks have been here since the establishment of the state and unfortunately will probably continue to be, even in the previous government there was a wave of severe and brutal attacks with axes in Elad and shooting attacks in Bnei Brak, Hadera Beer Sheva and more. It is true that we are a right-wing government and expect more brutal and significant measures from us, but people forget that more Not two months have passed since the formation of the government. Only last Friday was a budget passed. Changes will still happen."

According to him, "We (the government) are going through an unprecedented media lynching. Yesterday, two young men were murdered and the media is dealing with a Twitter like that Smotrich made. It's a ridiculous situation. We are under a never-ending campaign from day one. Sometimes it's the Avi Maoz storm, sometimes the Ben Gabir storm, Then the media launches a campaign of intimidation about the legal amendments and encourages demonstrations and taking money out of the state. People don't accept the fact that there is a right-wing government here, they do everything to hurt us."

As mentioned, against the background of riots among settlers in Hawara following the attack that occurred yesterday, in which Hillel Menachem Weigel Yaakov Yaniv were murdered on their way home to the settlement of Har Bracha, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich liked a post on Twitter that called for "erasing the village".
A short time later, the chairman of the Otzma Yehudit party himself uploaded a post to social networks in which he called to calm the spirits, this after MK Benny Gantz called his silence dangerous.
