National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir says that the investigation by the Police Internal Investigations Department of the police officer who threw a stun grenade at anti-government protesters in Tel Aviv “sends a very bad message of lack of backup for Israel Police officers.”
“The decision of PIID turns it into a political body,” he says. “If we were talking about a demonstration of Haredim or Ethiopians, we wouldn’t hear about it or remember it,” Ben Gvir charges.
