Min. of Internal Security Ezra: Livnat and Netanyahu weren't attacked - they
were yelled at
Aaron Lerner Date: 13 February 2005

Minister of Internal Security Gidon Ezra (Likud) in a live interview this
morning on Israel Radio noted that ministers Limor Livnat and Netanyahu
"weren't attacked - they were yelled at." Ezra said that he did not think
that security measures for officials other than Prime Minister Sharon need
to be enhanced at this time. "I also get yelled at," Ezra said. Ezra said
that the puncturing of a tire on Netanyahu's car, while he was not in the
car, is still under investigation.

It should be noted that the Israeli media, in its coverage of the two
incidents, continues to term the verbal attacks "attacks" in reports - in
most cases not even explaining that they were "verbal attacks".

A video of the verbal attack on Livnat - and the physical attack of Livnat's
guards on those making the verbal attack - can be found at:
