Professor Shikma Bressler, a leading figure in the protests against the government, has responded to the tragedy in the Golan Heights in which a Maalot high school student was killed and some 23 others wounded after an unexploded munition detonated during a school trip.
In a post on her X account, Bressler drew a direct line between the incident and what she described as failures in governance. "Disaster follows disaster, failure follows failure. This. Is. Not. Fate," she wrote.
Bressler went on to criticise the absence of investigations and accountability in the public sector: "This is what happens when there are no inquiries, when no one is responsible for anything. This is what happens when positions are filled based on personal connections."
