Apologizing to each other, Rothman and Nave released a statement saying: “In the spirit of the times, during the Three Weeks, we appeal to the entire people of Israel to behave with respect towards each other. In light of the security situation and the joint struggle against our enemies from the outside, we seek to reduce any wars at home.”
Nave said: “On the eve of Tisha B’Av with the danger of enemies from the outside, I undertake to conduct every discourse, even if harsh, in a proper manner, out of the responsibility we have for showing respect in public discourse. We will continue to devote all of our efforts to ensure a Jewish and democratic Israel that will last for generations.”
