Police breathe sigh of relief as massive security operation nears an end
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleWith Trump getting ready to leave, police chief Roni Alsheich tells the media that the major job of securing the trip was a success, as Israelis are inconvenienced one last time by the closing of Route 1.
The operation involved over 10,000 cops, who shut down large swaths of Jerusalem any time Trump moved.
Alsheich says police are continuing to investigate if a Netanya stabbing by a West Bank man was a terror attack.
Asked whether it was the police that messed up in allowing selfie-taking MK Oren Hazan into the welcoming ceremony, he responds, “Thank God, the ones who decide who gets in and who doesn’t is not the police.”
