Foreign minister speaks to Bedouin diplomat manhandled by guards

Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi says he has spoken to Israel’s first-ever Bedouin diplomat, who has complained to police that he was manhandled by security guards at a bus depot in Jerusalem.

“There is no room in Israeli society for violence,” says Ashkenazi in a tweet. “I trust law enforcement will investigate the matter and get to the bottom of it.”
