Police allow social workers into outpost to talk to distressed protesters

A team of five social workers from the Beit El Welfare Office receive permission from police to enter the settlement and speak to protesters who may be in distress,

Four female and one male social worker are speaking with the younger protesters to see if they are OK and to ask them if they want to leave voluntarily.

“If I’m being honest, I think there should be more social workers than police officers,” one of the social workers tells The Times of Israel.
