Watch: Democrats leader stands behind 'baby killing' remark
The chair of Democrats, Yair Golan, would not back down from his harsh remark that 'a sane state does not kill babies as a pastime.'
Assessment
Yair Golan's refusal to retract his remark about baby killing escalates a political firestorm in Israel. The comment, which appears to reference military operations, has become a flashpoint for debates about proportionality and civilian casualties. Golan's stance as a party leader suggests this controversy will persist, potentially reshaping coalition dynamics and public discourse around accountability.
