PM calls for calm, ‘strongly condemns’ break-in to Sde Teiman base

As tempers flare around the questioning of IDF reservists by military police, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu releases a statement calling for “an immediate calming of passions in the Sde Teiman base.”

He also “strongly  condemns” the break-in into the IDF base where Hamas terrorists are held.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant also comes out against the break-in of the IDF’s Sde Teiman base by far-right activists and lawmakers, saying that “even in times of anger, the law applies to everyone.”

“The IDF will continue and act in accordance with the law. We must allow the authorized parties to carry out the necessary investigations while maintaining the dignity of our soldiers,” he says, referring to the questioning of nine soldiers over an incident of suspected serious abuse of a Palestinian detainee.
