Responding to the death threats accompanied with a bullet received by the premier's family, Defense Minister Benny Gantz said that it "crossed a red line.""Threats In the lives of the family of the Prime Minister cross a red line. Incitement and violence have already led to assassination in the past," Gantz noted."One bullet in the post can turn into three bullets shot from a gun. But I am confident that the Police and GSS will lay their hands In those responsible for this. Even during such times of intense debate, we all have an obligation to remember that it is our unity and our resilience that are the basis for our strength," Gantz concluded.

Foreign Minister Yair Lapid has warned of the dangers of incitement, following the receipt of death threats by the premier's family."A letter containing death threats against the life of the Prime Minister is a sad and dangerous reminder of where incitement can lead to," Lapid said."We will continue to battle hatred-filled discourse In the streets, In social media, and everywhere. They will not scare us. The extremists will not triumph over the sane majority."

Responding to the death threats received by the Prime Minister's family, MK Bezalel Smotrich said:"I have no idea if the news that police have opened an investigation into threats sent to Bennett is simply spin designed to improve his position and delegitimize the right-wing and its justified protests against Bennett, or something genuine."What I do know is that violence should never be allowed to enter the picture. But this would not be the first time that the right-wing has been silenced via accusations of 'incitement.'"There are crazies In both sides of the debate," Smotrich added, "and the security services should deal with them and prevent violence. But this has nothing to do with a sharp and pointed political and public criticism of horrific acts that Bennett and his associates have done and are doing. We oppose violence of any kind and will continue to criticize the government and work for its immediate replacement."

Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz has condemned right-wing incitement in the wake of the death threats allegedly received by the Prime Minister's family."A bullet in a threatening letter sent to Bennett is the result of violent incitement.

We will overcome."
