Netanyahu holds security briefing to discuss intra-Israeli violence

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is convening a situational assessment at the IDF’s Kirya military headquarters in Tel Aviv with Defense Minister Benny Gantz, Public Security Minister Amir Ohana, Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai, National Security Council chairman Meir Ben-Shabbat and Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit.

The inclusion of police officials in the security briefing indicates that it will also discuss the ongoing violence within Israel where Arab and Jewish vigilantes have targeted innocent civilians in ethnically motivated attacks.
