National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir tells police officials that there must be “zero tolerance toward anarchists,” amid widespread protests against the planned judicial reform that have led to at least 23 arrests by midday.
Holding a situational assessment with the national police commissioner and Tel Aviv’s police chief, Ben Gvir directs his comments toward protesters “who attack policemen, break through police barriers and lead to anarchy.”
Ben Gvir was silent for more than 12 hours when radical settlers rampaged through the Palestinian town of Huwara on Sunday night, setting fire to homes and cars in a revenge attack for a deadly terrorist shooting.
