Among those speaking out against the decision to close the case against police over the death of settler teen Ahuvia Sandak is Meretz MK Mossi Raz, who sits across the political aisle from most of Sandak’s right-wing supporters.
Raz, who is known as a critic of the police, tweets that “this is what whitewashing looks like,” calling the decision “ridiculous.”
“A kid was killed after being struck by a police car and nobody will face justice,” he writes.
More predictable criticism also comes from the right flank of the political sphere, such as Itamar Ben Gvir, who calls it a “black day for democracy.”
“For a whole year we’ve been fighting for justice for Ahuvia and an end to the baseless hatred that’s killing us,” Sandak’s father says in reaction, according to Now 14.
