Police chief slams Arab leaders for reaction to car ramming
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsrael Police chief Roni Alsheich criticizes Arab community leaders for their response to this morning’s car ramming in the Bedouin village of Umm al-Hiran in which a police officer and the driver of the car were killed.
Speaking at the funeral for 1st Sgt. Erez Levi, Alsheich says, “Unfortunately, specific leaders from within the [Arab] sector chose to incite to violence instead of condemning the terror attack.”
The incident took place during clashes between police and protesters, including several members of the Joint (Arab) List, over house demolitions at the site.
