Far-right extremists associated with Israel's racist Jewish Power (Otzma Yehudit) party, led by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, violently confronted left-wing activists in Tel Aviv on Thursday evening, October 15, reportedly attempting to storm the election headquarters of the Joint List, the electoral alliance bringing together Arab and Jewish left-wing forces. According to the Israeli communist newspaper Zo Haderekh, around ten far-right thugs, including Mordechai David and Victor Shariki, forced their way into the Left Bank Club, a venue that also houses local branches of the Communist Party of Israel (Maki) and the Democratic Front for Peace and Equality (Hadash).
