Police chief says anti-overhaul protesters have not been attacking police
During the cabinet meeting Israel Police chief Kobi Shabtai says protesters against the judicial overhaul have refrained from attacking officers.
“In this protest movement, attacks against police are relatively negligible,” he says, according to Haaretz, reportedly adding that “not a single officer was taken to a hospital for treatment” during the protests.
Also during the meeting, the attorney general addresses the blocking of roads by demonstrators and reportedly says that “there can be no effective protest without disturbing public order,” a statement that Netanyahu is said to call “shocking.”
