Israeli President Isaac Herzog recalled that 31 years had passed since the assassination of former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, stating that the assassination targeted not only Rabin but the entire nation. Herzog said the murder was intended to override the will of the public through the use of a weapon and resolve disagreements through violence.

Herzog argued that Rabin's murderer should not be released and must serve his full sentence in prison, opposing any reduction of the sentence or granting of a pardon.

Herzog noted that despite the years that have passed, death threats against prime ministers, ministers, members of parliament and political leaders continue, emphasizing that political violence is unacceptable.
