Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu, of the far-right Otzma Yehudit party, says the Israel Defense Forces and the police automatically side with the Palestinians versus settlers.
“The spirit that entered the IDF, police and [security] services in the last three decades has brought about an adoption the world view of the Palestinian population, that automatically views the settlers as guilty,” he tells the Ynet news site.
Eliyahu’s comments are the latest from far-right government members attacking the security services in the wake of the killing of a Palestinian on Friday by settlers.
