Prime Minister Naftali Bennett holds a meeting in Jerusalem of the Ministerial Team on Fighting Crime and Violence in the Arab Sector following several violent incidents in recent days.
“Crime in the Arab sector, especially the weapons and the quantities of illegal weapons that are enough for a small army, the arsenal that has accumulated and expanded over many years, needs to be emptied,” says Bennett.
“Friends, we are taking action,” adds the prime minister. “We have started to work. I am pleased to report that the Israel Police has started to work with full force. We are making a critical effort throughout the country against weapons and munitions.”
The head of the Shin Bet and the Israel Police as well as Justice Minister Gideon Sa’ar, Public Security Minister Omer Barlev and Welfare and Employment Minister Meir Cohen and a range of other officials take part in the meeting.
“Now our task is not to take the foot off the gas but to continue full throttle: More and more operations, to continue pressing until the mission is completed,” says Bennett.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
