Deputy police minister rejects claim that settler violence is ‘marginal’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDeputy Public Security Minister Yair Golan is pushing back against Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s characterization of settler violence as a “marginal” phenomenon.
In a tweet, Golan says that “settler violence … is systematic action endorsed by politicians. We can’t let extremists set the agenda in Israel.”
Bennett’s comments came in reaction to Golan’s boss, Public Security Minister Omer Barlev, discussing settler violence with a senior US official.
Golan, an MK with the dovish Meretz party, is a former deputy IDF chief.
