Negev, Galilee and National Resilience Minister Yitzhak Wasserlauf slams the Department of Internal Police Investigations over its questioning of a Border Police officer following he death of a 13-year-old boy during clashes in the Shuafat refugee camp in East Jerusalem last night.
Israel’s enemies see how we are investigating our own police, the lawmaker for the far-right Otzma Yehudit party declares, speaking during a Knesset debate and calling the probe “a disgrace.”
Wasserlauf claims Israeli security forces “will be scared to do what is necessary to neutralize terrorists.”
In response, Arab lawmakers begin yelling, sparking a shouting match between Hadash-Ta’al chairman Ahmad Tibi and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
