Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears before the Knesset plenum, after opposition lawmakers gathered enough signatures to force his appearance at a session on exemptions from military service for Haredi youth.
Sparring with opposition lawmakers over his coalition’s record, Netanyahu reiterates his condemnation of settler violence after a far-right minister blasted the security chiefs who denounced the phenomenon as “terrorism.”
“We are a country of laws and this applies everywhere — in the Golan, Judea and Samaria [West Bank] and the Ayalon,” he says, lumping the settler rampages with recent Druze rioting over a wind farm project in the Golan Heights and anti-overhaul protesters blocking Tel Aviv’s main highway.
