Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee chairman Yuli Edelstein announces that he will hold an urgent hearing tomorrow to discuss the arrest of IDF servicemen at the Sde Teiman detention facility.

“I will not lend a hand to scenes like the one seen today at the base in Sde Teiman,” Edelstein says.

“A situation in which masked military policemen raid an IDF base is not acceptable to me and I will not allow it to happen again. Our soldiers are not criminals and this contemptible pursuit of our soldiers is unacceptable to me.”
