Footage of the scene shared by Israeli media showed numerous haredi (ultra-Orthodox) men protesting and clashing with police officers.

Yisrael Beytenu is part of the opposition bloc seeking to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his coalition in the October election. It has recently been polling at around nine to 10 seats.

“We call on the entire public, Arabs and Jews: Come to us. Let’s build together a home of dignity, a home of equality, a home of hope,” said the Chairman of the Arab-led Joint List party.

“I want to see Gaza empty. I am not afraid when they’re hiding behind their own babies. And this is what they do,” Feiglin said.

"Our security doctrine must be clear: Anyone who tries to murder or harm Israelis, the State of Israel will pursue them and settle the score with them anywhere in the world," he said.

Ministers and opposition politicians also praised the Israeli passengers aboard the flybubai aircraft, saying that they saved many lives and potentially prevented a disaster on the scale of 9/11.

Later, Netanyahu was filmed at the airport embracing one of the passengers who helped neutralize the attacker on the plane, who was still wearing a blood-stained shirt.

The meeting brought together the four main party leaders in the bloc: Gadi Eisenkot (Yashar), Naftali Bennett (B’Yachad), Avigdor Liberman (Yisrael Beytenu), and Yair Golan (The Democrats).

The Democrats said Israel Police had raised Golan’s risk level to 4 on a six-point scale, which it described as high and identical to the rating given to Yashar chairman Gadi Eisenkot.
