National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir attacks “selective enforcement” of the law, claiming settlers are held to a different standard than anti-government and Druze protesters.
“I’m against breaking the law,” says the police minister, who himself has been previously convicted of incitement to racism and supporting a Jewish terror group.
“But there can’t be one law for settlers and another for the Golan Heights and those on the Ayalon,” he says, referencing Druze protests in Israel’s north and anti-overhaul demonstrators blocking Tel Aviv’s main highway.
