The attacker, reportedly a delinquent attempting to rob him, was apprehended. The incident was deemed random and not terror-related.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"885\" data-end=\"1233\">Tunisian political figures and activists responded cautiously, concerned the event might negatively impact the country\u2019s tourism season, particularly since Djerba is one of Tunisia\u2019s top tourist destinations. They also called on Tunisian authorities to issue an official clarification. As of now, the Interior Ministry has not released a statement.<\/p>\n<article class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full\" dir=\"auto\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-42\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\">\n<div class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto py-5 [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] @[37rem]:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] @[72rem]:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)\">\n<div class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:32rem] @[34rem]:[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @[64rem]:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto flex max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 text-base gap-4 md:gap-5 lg:gap-6 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<div class=\"group\/conversation-turn relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\">\n<div class=\"relative flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3\">\n<div class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\">\n<div class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"5996d91e-31e9-438e-802e-70293cf08edf\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-4o\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words light\">\n<h3 data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"118\"><strong data-start=\"19\" data-end=\"118\" data-is-last-node=\"\">Israeli FM&#8217;s Call for Jewish Protection in Tunisia Sparks Accusations of Political Exploitation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex justify-start\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1235\" data-end=\"1354\">However, Israeli FM Gideon Sa\u2019ar used the incident to call on Tunisia to protect its Jewish citizens.
